Sage 8000 Pro Series Fly Fishing Reel

There's a new species atop the saltwater food chain. Built upon the proven foundation of our 6000 series, the all-new and larger 8000 PRO is designed for tackling big-game saltwater species. The 8000 PRO gives you a new dimension of fish-stopping power via an integrated, secondary drag control mechanism, to fine-tune and calibrate your drag. With its unique two-stage drag control, you can dial-up new degrees offish-fighting resistance atthe high end, in anticipation ofthe species you're targeting. Simultaneously, you can set your preferred line resistance at the drag's low end, to prevent overstripping as you take line for your cast. It's all one smooth and exceedingly powerful drag system, enhanced with greater range of resistance settings provided by the secondary drag control mechanism. Sorry, fish.
