Sage Arbor XL Spool
The Sage Arbor XL is built for taming fast fish that are as likely to come straight at you as they are to run away – be it a Henry’s Fork rainbow, a South Andros bonefish, a chrome bright Bristol Bay silver, or anything in between. These technical reels feature an all-new extra-large arbor for ultra-fast line retrieval and a narrow spool that makes level-winding effortless.
Spool only.

The spool performs well in fast runs with bonefish. The narrow design helps with smooth line feeding and easy level winding. I used it with a standard setup and found the retrieval speed to be noticeably faster than previous spools.

Great for quick strikes and fast fish. The arbor feels responsive and the spool stays clean during use. I added dacron backing for saltwater and it’s been reliable in tide pools.

Fits perfectly with my Sage reel. The level winding is smooth and the line doesn’t tangle. I’ve caught several fast-moving rainbows with it and the retrieval speed made a big difference.
