Sage is now offering its ultra-large arbor reel in a size suited for freshwater fishing, with an ergonomic handle and extra-large diameter to quickly pick up line when fighting speedy fish. As with the original larger version, the Arbor XL is machined from aerospace aluminum, and hard-anodized for protection. A super-smooth sealed carbon drag system completes the package. It comes in frost, slate and a pleasing tempest blue colour.
