The 6000 reel series was built around our exclusive SCS drag system that creates a silky smooth resistance while efficiently dissipating heat. It does all this with a minimum of weight, allowing fishermen more line feel and the ability to make more casts without fatigue. This sealed system is impervious to water, sand and grit, requiring no maintenance beyond simple rinsing. FEATURES: Sage's SCS Cassette drag design Innovative quick-change spool mechanism Single rotation drag knob with numbered settings Designed for maximum frame and spool rigidity Ballistic cloth and neoprene reel case Easy conversion from left-to-right hand retrieve
