Sage Spey Reel 6/7/8 – Stealth Silver

Description

The 6/7/8 is an ideal fit on 6, 7 or 8 weight Spey rods. You can also match it with an 8 weight switch rod. It would lend itself more to anglers who are doing more Spey-style casts on their switch rod since it is a bit heavier than many other switch reels.

The 7/8/9 is the true Spey rod reel. It balances beautifully on 13 foot and longer rods in the 7-9 weight range.

SPECS FOR 7/8/9: Diameter: 4 7/16″  Weight: 10 7/8 ounces Width: 1 3/4″ Capacity: 700 Grain Skagit Head + running line + 150 yards of 30lb backing

From Sage:

Classic aesthetics with modern performance. The SPEY introduces a reel designed for the angler looking for a reel that addresses the nuances of Spey fishing. Heavier to better balance longer rods and increased capacity to hold larger Spey lines, the SPEY features full line guards to assure thin running lines do not migrate between the spool and frame during dynamic casting motions. A romantic appeal to designs and colors that reflect the classic feel of old yet packed with performance features that will assure you’ll never lose that fish of a lifetime.
