Short of losing the reel altogether and taking the Tenkara route, the Sage Click Fly Reel has to be the easiest way to simplify your trout setup. Its lightweight, fully machined aerospace-grade aluminum will balance well with your lightweight rod, while the click and pawl drag will take you back to the days when fly fishing was strictly a top-water pursuit. The beautiful thing about the Click is the combination of a click and pawl drag and large arbor, which combines that classic click and pawl feel with the quick line retrieve of a modern, large arbor reel. The large arbor also provides more area to palm the rim, so you can apply the perfect amount of pressure to those fish that would rather run you up and down the river than surrender to your net. Sage built this reel to last a lifetime with a hard anodized surface that will withstand year after year of abuse and a cold-forged and tempered aluminum that's strong and rigid, so you won't have to feel like you need to baby it, unlike that old click and pawl reel you caught your first fish with.
