Sage Arbor XL - SPARE SPOOL
SPARE SPOOL ONLY!!!
Sage ARBOR XL Fly Reel — Extra-Large Arbor Speed for Fast Fish & Technical Fishing
The Sage ARBOR XL is built for one thing: winning the moments that matter most. This is the reel for fast fish that are just as likely to charge straight at you as they are to rip line off the reel — whether you’re battling a Henry’s Fork rainbow, a South Andros bonefish, a chrome-bright Bristol Bay silver salmon, or anything in between.
Designed for technical anglers who want every advantage, the ARBOR XL features an all-new extra-large arbor for ultra-fast line pickup and a narrow spool that makes level-winding smooth, intuitive, and effortless.
In the most critical situations, the ARBOR XL is almost like cheating.
Extra-Large Arbor = Faster Line Pickup (15% Faster)
When fish run toward you, slack is the enemy. The ARBOR XL’s oversized frame delivers 15% faster line retrieval, helping you stay tight, stay connected, and keep pressure on fish that change direction fast.
This is a major advantage when fishing:
-
Big rivers with fast current
-
Flats environments with quick-moving fish
-
Streamer fishing and sudden eats
-
Situations where a fish turns and charges
Narrow Spool Design for Easy Level-Winding
Big arbors are great — but big arbors can also stack line poorly.
That’s why the ARBOR XL pairs its ultra-large arbor with a narrow spool, giving you:
-
Easier level-winding
-
More consistent line stacking
-
Less line bunching under pressure
-
Better performance during hard runs
Sealed Carbon System Drag (SCS) — Smooth, Reliable, Proven
The ARBOR XL features Sage’s trusted Sealed Carbon System (SCS) Drag, tuned for optimum performance in each size class. This drag is designed for consistent pressure, smooth startup, and confidence when the fish is deep into the backing.
One-Revolution Drag Knob (Repeatable Precision)
For maximum control, the ARBOR XL includes a one-revolution drag knob with:
-
20 numbered settings
-
39 detented positions
-
Repeatable, reliable drag adjustments you can return to again and again
Fully Machined, Cold-Forged Aluminum Strength
The ARBOR XL is fully machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, then cold forged and tempered for superior rigidity. It’s sleek, lightweight for its size, and built for anglers who fish hard.
A hard anodized finish adds long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and surface protection — whether you’re fishing freshwater, coastal environments, or traveling hard.
