PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Multipurpose reels that cover the entire spectrum of fly fishing applications, from tributary trout pursuits to backcountry mangrove patrols. SHIFT comes equipped with Sage's proprietary SCS Drag package, featuring a new and innovative redundant seal system tuned to buck salt or freshwater intrusion. A numbered One Revolution Drag Knob, represented throughout the series, allows for easy and precise adjustment, providing reliable, consistent, and repeatable drag pressure. Quickly select the desired setting for the angling application and SHIFT into high gear.
Taking its take-charge cue from the versatile SPECTRUM series, the fully machined 6061 aluminum SHIFT blends the best of narrow spool width and large arbor design for the ultimate in easy stacking, ultrafast line pick-up. With a concave spool surface for optimal line capacity and drag-assisting smoothness, the lightweight SHIFT series is packed with the up-leveled tech you'd expect to find on higher-priced reels.

SHIFT GEARS
Powered by the modern tech, smart design elements and the workhorse performance that Sage reels represent, fully machined 6061-aluminum SHIFT blends the best of narrow spool width and large arbor design for the ultimate in easy stacking, ultrafast line pickup. Its unique concave spool surface provides increased strength, line capacity and drag-assisting smoothness.
SCS DRAG PACKAGE
With its smooth engagement and consistent, dependable, and repeatable pressure, Sage’s Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag allows you to fish with confidence knowing your tippet is protected. Proprietary high-grade US-made carbon handles high pressure and quickly dissipates the kinetic energy of that running fish into thermal energy. Tailored configurations allow us to create specific drag systems for each model, size, and fishing application, and the entire system is sealed to keep out water, sand, grit, and salt.
EXCLUSIVE USA CARBON
SHIFT’s drag discs are made with proprietary US-made carbon, the same material used in the brakes of jets and F1 race cars. We use carbon for our drag system because it’s the most efficient material for dissipating extreme heat without wear. Unlike alternative drag components such as cork or plastic, or even polymers like Delrin® and Rulon®, carbon does not compress, deteriorate, melt, or burn. It allows us to create compact drag systems that are high performance, stable, durable, and repeatable.
