FAQs

What is the SDS drag system?

The Sealed Carbon System (SDS) drag system is designed by Sage for smooth, reliable, and powerful drag performance, tuned for each reel size.

How do I adjust the drag?

Use the one-revolution drag knob to adjust the drag pressure. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the drag setting. Start with a light drag and adjust as needed.

How do I clean the reel?

Rinse the reel with fresh water after each use. Use a soft cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

What type of backing should I use?

Use a high-quality backing material appropriate for your fly line weight and intended fishing conditions. Dacron is a popular choice.

How do I store the reel?

Store the reel in a protective case in a cool, dry place when not in use.

What is the warranty?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for details. Warranty information is not included in the provided product data.

Drag is sticking or not functioning smoothly.

Rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh water. If the problem persists, the drag system may need to be serviced by a qualified technician.
