Want to learn how to switch the CAGE reel from left-hand to right-hand retrieve?

The new CAGE reel is fully loaded with features and functionality for big-game fishing at its finest. This fully caged (or full frame) reel, was designed to be used with single-hand fly rods, Switch rods, and two-handed Spey rods. Improving on structural power & stability, a fully caged frame also eliminates thin running line, and monofilament line, from getting pulled in and wrapped around the main shaft.

The CAGE has a fully sealed, internal system. This system houses a powerful multi-disc carbon-power drag, along with three bearing for incredibly smooth operation. Fully machined from hard anodized 6061-T aerospace grade aluminum, then hard-anodized for ultimate protection against the harshest fishing elements. The CAGE also has our Tuff-torque center-shaft locking design, which integrates its spool with the drag system for maximum fighting power, while doing battle with saltwater predators, and head-thrashers of the deep. 

The CAGE is available in three sizes; 8WT, 10WT, and 12WT. Each size can easily  accommodate any fly line smaller than its recommended size, as well as large sizes when using less backing.   

TRAXX Caps: These numeric TRAXX caps now pull double duty. 1st and foremost, they secure your spool to the reels frame without worry of losing them thanks to the o-ring mounted on the inside. Secondly, they give you the best way to keep track of what weight line you have on each spool. No more stickers to fall off or marker that vanishes. These interchangeable numbered caps stay with the spool, so you can be sure of what line weight you put on it last.

CAGE 12 on a 12' 7/8 wt. Bamboo Rod

I used the CAGE 12 on my 12' 7/8 wt. bamboo Spey rod I built on the Rapid River in Maine. I fished it with 200 yds. of 30 lb. backing, a Rio Elite Scandi shooting head (#8 Short-34'-490 gr.), SlickShooter shooting line, both the floating and I/H tips, and 2X 9' leader, tippet, and flies. I was fishing for Brook Trout. The reel performed well, and the drag system was great. The CAGE reel did everything I needed it to do, and the price point was great at: Reel-$299.99 and Spare Spool-$149.99.

I now own 3 different model Maxxon reels and they are all fantastic reels

I now own 3 different model Maxxon reels and they are all fantastic reels. Really looking forward to running my Cage8 reel on my 6 weight spey rod when I travel out to Washington this fall. If you are looking for a big bang for your buck, you will not be disappointed with any of the Maxxon reels. Brian is very helpful with customer service!

Cage reel, a great reel

The cage is a great reel, it is a machined reel, with sealed bearings. When you are needing a reel for those big water fish, this is a good option.
