SAGE 4560 Fly Reel
Thanks to a sophisticated 3:1 geared, fully sealed SCS Micro-Cassette drag unit, 4500 Series Reels provide smooth, powerful resistance without the weight of traditional drag systems. Machined aluminum construction, large arbor design and one-revolution drag adjustment combine for a light, tough reel that outperforms anything in it's class.
* The 4560 reel is rated for 6-7 weight lines and will hold 100 yards of 20lb backing with a 6wt. The reel weighs 4 1/2 ounces and the color is black/platinum.
The Sage Micro Cassette is a SCS drag engaged 3:1 by machined gearing inside the reel's large arbor spool. This package is extremely lightweight while providing enough stopping power for any fish you might choose to target with up to a 9 weight in your hand. Micro Cassette Drags consist of a sealed stack of roughly dime-sized carbon disks in contact with stainless steel rotors. These components are created to precise tolerances and able to dissipate heat that be the ruin of less sophisticated drags. The multiplied surface area and 3:1 rotation in this configuration provide smooth reliable resistance with amazing range. Even better, SCS Micro Cassettes are sealed and impervious to outside elements such as sand, grit and salt, requiring no maintenance beyond simple rinsing.
