Sage Shift Fly Reel - Platinum

Yes, the sealed SCS drag system with redundant seals is specifically designed to withstand both saltwater and freshwater environments, protecting it from water, grit, and salt.

The reel features a numbered One Revolution Drag Knob that allows for quick, precise, and repeatable adjustments. Simply turn the knob to increase or decrease drag pressure.

The large arbour facilitates faster line retrieval and helps reduce line memory. The concave spool design optimizes line stacking for better line lay and contributes to smooth drag performance.

After use in saltwater, rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh, clean water. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the drag seals. For more intensive cleaning, refer to Sage's official maintenance guidelines.

The reel is constructed from fully machined 6061 aluminum, providing a balance of strength, durability, and light weight.

Rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh water, paying attention to the drag housing. Ensure no grit or salt has entered the sealed system. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.

Check for any line or backing wrapped around the spool arbor or spindle. Ensure the spool is seated correctly. If the problem continues, the reel may need lubrication or servicing.

Some operational noise is normal with high-performance reels. However, excessive grinding or clicking could indicate debris in the drag or a need for lubrication. Clean and inspect as per care instructions.
