There are certain general criteria that a
novice fly fisherman should look for when
choosing a fly fishing reel, no matter what the
pand of reel. In addition, novice fisherman
should also think about getting a less
expensive fly fishing reel such as an Okuma
brand of fly fishing reel rather than a Sage
fly fishing reel since they are still learning
about the sport and probably do not want to
invest too much money at the start until they
learn what works best for
them.
Fly Fishing Reel
Considerations
A fly fisherman must decide what type of drag
system they want in a Sage fly fishing reel.
There are two types of drag systems that are
normally available in fly fishing rods, which
give the line some tension so that larger fish
cannot pull all of the line out of the reel,
leaving it in a pile at the fly fisherman's
feet to be untangled and reeled back into the
reel. The spring and pawl system is the most
common, although the Sage fly fishing reels
usually use the other type, the disk system,
which is silent. The spring and pawl system
makes a clicking noise as it provides the
tension to the line.
Retrieval
Systems
Another specification that a fly fisherman must
decide on in their Sage fly fishing reel is
what type of retrieval system they want it to
have, such as an automatic fly fishing reel
retrieval system. The automatic retrieval
system allows the fly fisherman to press a
button or flip a lever and the fly line is
automatically wound in by the reel so that he
can recast the line, which is the fastest
system on the market today.
Some Sage fly fishing reels have this automatic
retrieval system on them as an option. Besides
the automatic retrieval system, there is also a
multiplying retrieval system which is what the
majority of Sage fly fishing reels have on them
as a standard feature, which is faster than the
single action retrieval system, but not as fast
as the automatic system.
Sage Fly Fishing Reels - Cost vs.
Benefit
Sage fly fishing reels can be quite expensive,
with the value line reels costing just under
$100, which is much more than the $15 that an
Okuma system costs. In addition, the middle of
the line Sage fly fishing reels cost almost
$400 where the top of the line Sage fly fishing
reels cost almost $700.
