Sage Thermo Fly Reel
Description
The Sage THERMO Fly Reel is built for the biggest, hardest-pulling fish we can target with a fly rod. Giant trevally, tarpon, tuna, billfish, sharks, and other serious bluewater species demand a reel with enormous backing capacity, a rigid frame, and a drag that can maintain heavy pressure through long, blistering runs. That's exactly what the THERMO was designed to do.
At its core is Sage's Ultra-Robust Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag, capable of producing up to 20 pounds of drag while maintaining smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight. Extra-large carbon brake discs efficiently dissipate heat, helping prevent drag fade as a fish strips hundreds of yards of backing.
The THERMO is fully machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, then cold forged and tempered for additional strength and rigidity. The oversized frame and spool are designed to withstand the abuse that comes with serious boat and saltwater fishing, while a large arbor provides fast line pickup when a fish changes direction.
Available in 10/12 and 12/16 sizes, the Sage THERMO is purpose-built for anglers who need maximum drag, huge backing capacity, and uncompromising reliability when the fish on the other end is capable of testing every part of the system.
