The Sage Shift LT steps it up from the Shift in a big way. This reel features a larger and stronger drag, a screw on spool for security and lighter weight to reduce arm fatigue. The Shift LT has plenty of drag for the hottest anadromous fish around.

Description
From Sage:
Peak-performing multipurpose reels that cover the complete range of fly-fishing applications from high-country trout to hang-on-for-hell Alaskan kings. The ultra-light SHIFT LT comes equipped with Sage’s proprietary, Pacific Northwest-sourced, sealed-carbon drag package [SGS), featuring a new sealing system with redundant internal seals to block water intrusion and internal corrosion. A numbered One Revolution Drag Knob, found throughout the series, enables easy adjustment and provides reliable, consistent, and repeatable drag pressure. With 39 individual settings – each accessible through a single rotation of the drag knob – anglers can effortlessly tune the system to suit the specific target species at large.
SHIFT LT reels pair a robust, sealed carbon-drag system with an ultralight, cold forged rigid frame and spool for powerhouse performance – and then some.
