Sage Fly Reels
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to build a fly reel.
But if you want to create the finest, highest-performing new reels on the market, it certainly helps.
Meet Kurt Van Wyck, formerly of Rocket Research, where, among other things, he worked on a ground-breaking new starter system design for F-16 fighter jets. These days, Kurt brings his passion for innovation to Bainbridge Island and the somewhat more recreational world of fly fishing.
About four years ago, Kurt and our entire team of engineers and material science specialists discarded all traditional design conventions and dove into a complete rethinking of the modern fly reel.
The result? A new lineup of reels that spans the full range of fish, fly lines and bank account sizes. All designed with advanced, aerospace-grade 3-D modeling software. All featuring a distinctive, minimalist design ethic. And all built with the quality, performance and fishability you expect from Sage.
In other words, maybe you do have to be a rocket scientist after all.
