Sage Trout 6/7/8 - REEL1079

The Sage Trout 6/7/8 is the heavy-duty anchor of the "Modern Classics" family, designed for anglers who appreciate vintage aesthetics but demand contemporary performance. Perfectly weighted to balance 6, 7, and 8-weight rods, this reel is built for swinging flies to summer steelhead, stripping large streamers for trophy brown trout, or targeting light salmon. Its substantial 7 1/8 oz weight helps balance longer rods, while the 3 13/16-inch large arbor ensures you have the retrieval speed necessary to manage line in heavy current.

While it draws visual inspiration from the legendary Sage 500 series, the engineering is thoroughly modern. The reel features a full-frame construction machined from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum, a critical design choice that prevents thin running lines or shooting heads from slipping between the spool and frame. At its core is Sage’s proven Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag, a maintenance-free mechanism that provides smooth, consistent stopping power capable of handling surging fish, all controlled by a precise One Revolution Drag Knob.

This specific reel is in Like New condition and has never been fished. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, unused example of this sought-after model at a value that respects your budget. Whether you are building a dedicated streamer rig or a light switch setup, this reel offers factory-fresh performance with a timeless look.

Secure this untouched modern classic for your next heavyweight pursuit.
