can you guys show us some very decent combos for the price or good rods and reels that are not super expensive.. every shop i go to, reels are 200$ + and they say anything under that is trash.
I don’t know if I agree on the Spectrum C reel, at first I was very happy with the reel and it performed great at its price point, but the reel came apart at the logo and the drag stopped working. My feelings changed at the end and it was less of a hassle to just go buy a different new reel then go through the repair/shipping with Sage.
How long did it last u before u had issues? I have a spectrum C and had a issue out of the box with the drag acting up intermittently but my local fly shop took it apart and fixed it up and I haven't had issues since
Sorry for your troubles. We sell hundreds per year with virtually no problems. The shop you bought it from should have taken care of this as well for you.
Love this shop and channel. Quick clarification (not that it matters all that much) what’s forged versus what is machined? Both are different processes and I assume are for different parts. Keep it up MRO!
If I'm not mistaken forged uses pressure (think of a very precision blacksmith and an anvil) to form the metal where as machining uses cutting tools to remove metal. Forging compresses the molecules of the metal and makes the piece stronger. I do know that forged aluminum car wheels are considered superior to cast aluminum wheels which are then machined.
Forged>Pressure Cast>Gravity Cast Forge alloys are kneeded/drawn/folded numerous times to create a uniform and slightly more dense block of raw material (less pockets of impurities). Cold forging is done without heat but with high pressure. This raw block of material is most likely bought and then cut. Machined means the raw block of forged material is then cut/drilled/shaved down to its final form. Tempered is a process where the alloy is heated bellow the melting point but high enough for the alloy to create structures that further harden the alloy. Though the alloy is slightly denser, the rigidity attained allows for more material to be removed while still maintaining structural integrity resulting in a lighter but equally strong reel. It is arguable whether forged metal is necessary for an application like this but the trend away from caged reels places a lot of torsional force on the frame, drag, spindle and seat of the reel.

@@OregonFishingAdventures It was just under two years.
@@twiet43 oh ok I haven't even had mine a year yet

@@Madriveroutfitters No doubt, not every shop is like you guys!

You'd have to check with Brian on that question....do not have that intel here by Johnnylightning seems to have a good response here. Thanks.

That would definitely look nice, on my sage Pike and muskie Rod😊😊😊😊😊
It sure would!
Nice reel.
We have been very impressed. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching.
@@Madriveroutfitters Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
Seventh 👊🏻💪🏻🎣
Thanks for watching.
❤love Sage rod, when I gotten in the sport 20 years ago I bought Ted Juracsik , great video Sir
Thanks for watching.
Very nice but very pricey!
The very nice ones usually are eh?
