Deep Dive
Why We Love the Click Fly Reel
If you want to simplify your trout setup without going all the way to a Tenkara reel, the Sage Click Fly Reel is the perfect choice. Crafted from lightweight, aerospace-grade aluminum, this reel pairs beautifully with your lightweight rod. With its classic click and pawl drag, it will transport you back to the days when fly fishing was solely about surface pursuits.
The Click reel stands out for its combination of a click and pawl drag and a large arbor, giving you the best of both worlds. You'll experience the satisfaction of the traditional click and pawl feel while enjoying the quick line retrieval of a modern, large arbor reel. The spacious arbor design also provides ample room for palm grip, giving you the control to apply the ideal amount of pressure when battling those feisty fish that would rather lead you on a wild chase upstream.
Sage has built the Click Fly Reel to last a lifetime, thanks to its hard-anodized surface that can withstand years of abuse. The reel is constructed from cold-forged and tempered aluminum, ensuring its strength and rigidity. You won't need to handle this reel with kid gloves like your old click and pawl reel that accompanied the thrill of your first catch.
