The Sage SHIFT Fly Reel is machined from cold-forged 6061 aluminum across four sizes, so the same construction that handles small stream trout on the 3/4 also holds up to saltwater species on the 9/10. A large arbor design speeds up line pickup at every size, and the reel converts easily between left and right-hand retrieve so it fits how someone actually fishes rather than how it shipped. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I hooked a redfish on a trip I'd only packed for inshore backup, and the sealed drag never skipped or surged once I put real pressure on it. It ran as smooth on that fish as it does on trout back home."
