Designed as a dependable multipurpose workhorse, the SHIFT C combines Sage drag performance, fast line pickup, lightweight construction, and straightforward adjustability in a reel ready for a wide range of fly fishing situations.
At the heart of the SHIFT C is Sage's exclusive SCS drag package, with the drag system specifically tuned for each reel size to complement the fishing applications it is designed to handle. A One Revolution Drag Knob with 19 detented settings provides quick, precise adjustments while delivering reliable, consistent, and repeatable drag pressure. Whether you're protecting light tippet or applying additional pressure to a hard-running fish, the SHIFT C makes drag adjustments simple and intuitive.
The narrow-width, large-arbor design promotes fast line pickup, while a vented concave arbor adds strength and capacity. Lightweight die-cast aluminum construction with a machined finish provides a balance of rigidity, durability, and reduced weight for comfortable fishing throughout the day.
Available in 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, and 9/10 sizes, the Sage SHIFT C lineup makes it easy to pair the reel with everything from lighter trout setups to heavier fly rods and lines. Each reel can also be easily converted between left- and right-hand retrieve and includes a protective neoprene reel case.
