Description

Sage's new SPEY Reels are designed specifically for the anadromous angler, providing an ideal mix of enhanced, modern performance and refined, traditional design. Internally, SPEY Reels utilize a redesigned, sealed, carbon fiber disc and dual-clicker drag system that ensures dependability, eliminates unwarranted spool rotation, and offers exceptional resonance. Mass and balance were given equally-high attention in our design process as we updated model sizing to better align with matching Spey rods and we adjusted the location of the reel foot to provide uniform axial balance with the rod. A full-frame design eliminates the possibility of shooting lines slipping between spool and frame and the addition of a machined radius around the reel foot makes for comfortable wrapping of leader, tip or tippet. Completing the package is a classic and elegant aesthetic of porting and laser engraving that Spey anglers can acknowledge and appreciate. Introducing SPEY Reel.

Sizing Overview In addition to the attention given to the drag, frame, spool, and aesthetic of the new SPEY Reel, we also spend considerable time calibrating the dimensions and scale of each model in the family. To match the wide range of rods used by Spey anglers around the globe, we landed on three distinct reel sizes - 5/6/7, 6/7/8 and 8/9/10 - which also correspond with the most common types of Spey applications. Each model aligns with the physical rod weights of its given range and provides the appropriate line capacity. Classic Design The SPEY Reel aesthetic is an amalgam of influences from the past and present, a nod to Spey traditions and innovations of our own making as well as those from the greater anadromous community.
