With Sage's exclusive “floating tripod” sealed graphite drag unit, one-revolution adjustment knob for accurate, repeatable drag settings and curved, concave spool hub design, 3800CF Series reels offer performance you simply can’t find anywhere else in this price range. The reel also utilizes a full frame line-guard design that provides an added level of protection and is great for use with small-diameter running lines and shooting heads. Sage's advanced carbon fiber spool technology reduces weight while increasing durability, and the aluminum handle and accent trim add a distinctive look to stand out from the crowd.
