Product information "SPEY II Fly Reel (black)"
Sage’s new SPEY Fly Reels are designed specifically for the anadromous angler, providing an ideal mix of enhanced, modern performance and refined, traditional design. Internally, SPEY Reels utilize a redesigned, sealed, carbon fiber disc and dual-clicker drag system that ensures dependability, eliminates unwarranted spool rotation, and offers exceptional resonance. Mass and balance were given equally-high attention in our design process as we updated model sizing to better align with matching Spey rods and we adjusted the location of the reel foot to provide uniform axial balance with the rod. A full-frame design eliminates the possibility of shooting lines slipping between spool and frame and the addition of a machined radius around the reel foot makes for comfortable wrapping of leader, tip, or tippet. Completing the package is a classic and elegant aesthetic of porting and laser engraving that Spey anglers can acknowledge and appreciate.

5/6/7 SUMMER & LIGHTWEIGHT
Spey anglers targeting summer-run steelhead, fishing shorter rods, or those interested in the building the lightest-weight system possible will find the 5/6/7 reel size to be their best match. This model is the smallest in the family but is still able to accommodate larger-diameter Skagit and Scandi-style lines.
6/7/8 ALL-AROUND
For anglers who pursue steelhead and salmon in multiple seasons across numerous venues, the 6/7/8 model is the most versatile and matches the widest variety of Spey rods and applications. This model has a large line capacity, powerful drag, and enough mass to balance rods up to 13’6”.
8/9/10 BIG ROD, BIG FISH, BIG WATER
When targeting the largest and strongest anadromous fish on the biggest rivers, drag strength and adequate line capacity become increasingly important. The 8/9/10 size of SPEY Reel is best for Spey anglers in pursuit of Atlantic and Chinook salmon as well as those casting Long Belly Spey lines on 14- and 15-foot rods.

Sage Fly Rods & Reels – Performance Without Compromise
Sage fly rods represent precision, control, and consistent performance. Anglers choose Sage when accuracy, power, and reliability matter on the water. Each rod reflects decades of experience in fly fishing and rod building. Sage produces all fly rods in the USA.
Skilled rod builders assemble every blank, align components, and test each rod before it leaves the workshop. This process ensures consistent quality and a clean finish across all models.
Advanced Materials and Fast Recovery
Modern Sage fly rods use high-performance graphite to deliver fast recovery speed and stable tracking. The rod loads efficiently and transfers energy directly into the line. This leads to tighter loops, higher line speed, and better accuracy.
Fast action models handle wind, large flies, and long casting distances. Medium action rods support controlled presentations at short and medium range. This range of actions allows you to choose the right tool for your fishing style.
Designed for Real Fishing Situations
Sage develops fly rods for specific applications. Each series focuses on a defined use on the water:
- Dry fly fishing with delicate presentation
- Nymph fishing with direct contact and sensitivity
- Streamer fishing with power and control '
- Saltwater fishing with strength and corrosion-resistant components
- Two-handed casting for salmon and steelhead
This clear focus improves performance in each situation and gives you better control over your cast and drift.
Consistent Performance on Every Cast
Sage rods feel light in hand and remain stable during the cast. The blank tracks straight and recovers quickly. This helps you place the fly exactly where you want it. Even under pressure from strong fish, the rod maintains control and protects the leader.
High-quality components support long-term use. Durable guides, solid reel seats, and clean cork grips ensure reliable performance over many seasons.
Why Anglers Choose Sage Fly Rods
- Built in the USA with strict quality control
- High-performance graphite construction
- Fast recovery for precise casting
- Models for trout, predator, and saltwater fishing
- Reliable components for long service life
Sage fly rods deliver performance you can rely on. They support accurate casting, controlled drifts, and secure hook sets in all fishing conditions.

Elite Scandi MDC Kit Long
Combined Skagit power and Scandi smoothness.RIO's Elite Scandi MDC Kit brings together Skagit power, Scandi grace and all the code-cracking elements. A shooting line, floating body and tips. SPEY anglers need to cover a full range of swing depths and two-handed casting styles.Features and Specifications:The Kit includes: spool of SlickShooter matched to grain weight, Elite Scandi Body, MDC Tip set in Tip Wallet - 18ft in Long kits (F, F/H/I, H/I/S3, I/S3/S5)Smoother casting performanceWide range of system lengths to match wide range of rod lengthsFull selection of tips for precise depth controlColor-coded welded loops at front of body and back of sink tips for easy matchingMDC = Multi-Density-Control: Multi Density Control is a combination of different density coatings along the length of a fly line. These different density coatings give anglers complete depth control when swinging a fly on a river, and perfect contact right to the fly. The exceptionally smooth, continuous blend in density changes results in extremely smooth loops while casting.SlickCast: SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line. What does slick get you? For starters, line flies through the guides with higher line speeds for unprecedented and easy distance. The slick coating also allows anglers to fish more effectively as line slides out of the guides with less friction for extended drag-free drifts.Connect Core Plus: Building a better fly line starts at the core, and our low-stretch ConnectCore Plus provides a radical increase in line durability, coating smoothness and overall performance. ConnectCore Plus stretches 30% less than standard cores, and gives anglers all the benefits of a low-stretch core - enhanced sensitivity, less wasted energy and faster hook sets - with a significantly longer lifespan. It also allows hand stretching to easily remove memory coils for a more direct connection to fish and fly. The highest-performing, longest-lasting freshwater lines in the world are built around ConnectCore Plus.EasyID: RIO’s line marking system that shows anglers the model and line size of the relevant product, neatly printed on the actual fly line itselfWith the RIO Elite Scandi MDC Kit Long, you get a complete package that offers outstanding performance for both experienced Spey casters and beginners, and is ideal for slightly longer, classic two-handed rods of 12ft and more.

Super Backing 45 lbs (yellow)
A few years ago we asked ourselves how we could make a good backing even better. After analysing the most important requirements for a backing we discovered that these were an even greater tensile strength - at a lower volume, a longer life, UV stability and very strong knot strength. We tested various materials and the breakthrough came when we combined a new braiding technique with a high performance thread. The result is the best backing that we know of. The main advantage is that even though it has a very small diameter, it has the quality to flatten out on the reel. This means no more cutting through itself! The tensile strength is 40 % higher, the diameter 35 % less than conventional backing and the fluorescent colour is easily visible. The tensile strength is 45 lbs (approx. 21 kg)! This may appear exorbitant to some Trout anglers but, even in this situation, our Super Backing does have the advantage of the fish feeling less water pressure on the line, during long runs and drills. When fly fishing for larger fish this advantage becomes even more apparent.
