Sage Spey II Fly Reel

Designed for the Swing, Tuned for Two-Handed Balance

The Sage Spey II Fly Reel is the culmination of four decades spent refining the art and mechanics of Spey fishing. Born from thousands of days chasing anadromous fish, this reel reflects a deep understanding of modern two-handed systems—where balance, line control, and drag integrity matter as much as feel and sound. The Spey II is not an accessory to the rod; it is a critical extension of it.

Modern Spey Performance with Classic Sensibility

At the heart of the Spey II is a redesigned sealed carbon fiber drag system enhanced with newly formulated O-ring seals and a custom dual-clicker configuration. This system delivers consistent pressure, prevents unwanted spool rotation, and produces a resonant, confident sound that Spey anglers appreciate. A one-revolution drag knob with twenty numbered settings and half-detents allows repeatable, precision adjustments—ideal when switching between runs, water types, or fish size.

Balanced Engineering for Long Rods and Heavy Lines

The full-frame design eliminates shooting line migration while maintaining capacity for large-diameter Spey lines. Strategic porting and refined mass distribution align the reel naturally with longer two-handed rods. The reel foot is intentionally offset to achieve uniform axial balance, and radiused edges protect leaders, tips, and tippet from memory or damage. A wide palming rim adds control during hard downstream runs, completing a reel system built for confidence under pressure.
