Deep Dive
Spectrum C Fly Reel
The Spectrum C reel is a lightweight aluminum die-cast reel designed in Sage’s spirit of “Perfecting Performance.” Outfitted with high-performance features, including a carbon drag system, ergonomic handle, and anodized drag knob, this simple, smooth-operating reel will stay with you through the whole fight.
With a concave shape and increased capacity, the large arbor retrieves faster and also minimizes irritating line coiling. The Sealed Carbon System Drag (SCS Drag) is hand calibrated to offer precise control with smooth, reliable pressure from a carbon disc. The fully sealed drag system keeps sand, salt, and grit out so it can’t compromise the system while the One Revolution Drag Knob offers easy adjustment. Going from stripping line to fighting fish only takes one turn on the numbered and detented knob.
The machined and anodized ergonomic handle alongside an easy left-to-right hand conversion make this reel comfortable for any angler.

Since 1984, Sage has been designing innovative reels on Bainbridge Island.
