Sage 506 Fly Reel 6'9" There is no sign ofA very nice Sage 506 fly reel, made exclusively for Sage by Hardy. 3 1 2" diameter with a catalog weight of 5. 25 ounces. Excellent used condition with a few tiny spots of rim rash along the frame and spool edges in a few spots, but very clean overall. There is some dacron backing currently loaded on it. Set up for RHW, but easily reversible with a swappable single screw nickel silver line guide. Strong smooth drag with a loud outgoing click. Designed
