Sage Trout Reel

Description

The numbering of the reel (either 4/5/6 or 6/7/8) indicates the single hand rod size they are designed for. We find the 4/5/6 is ideal on a 5 or 6 weight rod and the 6/7/8 works well on a 7 or 8 weight rod.

From Sage:

Classic aesthetics with modern performance. Drawing inspiration from the historic Sage 500 series reels, the Modern Classics collection introduces reels designed for the angler longing for a nod to the past. A romantic appeal to designs and colors that reflect a classic feel of old yet packed with performance features that will assure you’ll never lose that fish of a lifetime.

While honoring our heritage with a full-frame design, narrow profile, and classic styling, the backbone of the TROUT reel is our proven One Revolution, Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag. The heart of the series is the 4/5/6 which will balance perfectly with the majority of all-around trout rods. The larger 6/7/8 is a great option for bigger trout setups or light salmon/steelhead duty.
