Another "performance" high quality reel that Sage is making that competes with any reel in that price range! Light weight, bullet-proof drag and beautiful design - we are impressed! Peak-performing multipurpose reels that cover the complete range of fly-fishing applications from high-country trout to hang-on-for-hell Alaskan kings. The ultra-light SHIFT LT comes equipped with Sage's proprietary, Pacific Northwest-sourced, sealed-carbon drag package [SGS), featuring a new sealing system with redundant internal seals to block water intrusion and internal corrosion. A numbered One Revolution Drag Knob, found throughout the series, enables easy adjustment and provides reliable, consistent, and repeatable drag pressure. With 39 individual settings - each accessible through a single rotation of the drag knob - anglers can effortlessly tune the system to suit the specific target species at large. SHIFT LT reels pair a robust, sealed carbon-drag system with an ultralight, cold forged rigid frame and spool for powerhouse performance - and then some. Available in sizes ranging from 3/ 4 to 9/10, there's a SHIFT LT for every application where strong, lightweight precision provides the edge. - SGS Drag System- Proprietary USA Developed and Sourced Carbon Drag Disks and Sealing Technology - One Revolution Drag Knob With 39 Numbered and Detented Settings - Counterweight Integrated Into Spool Design - Machined, Ported Reel Handle for Superior Grip and Reduced Weight - Cold Forged and Machined Spool and Frame Provide Superior Strength and Rigidity - Large Arbor for Fast Line Pick-up - Easy Conversion From Left to Right-Hand Retrieve - Neoprene and Embroidered Ballistic Nylon Reel Case
