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 reel will match any reel especially for the money.

It matches up against any of the real pricey reels. I don’t use them much in my type of fishing, but my customers that buy to take to the salt water are very pleased.

The Cage reel

The Cage reel is beautifully made!

Over excellent quality reel with sealed drag and strong overall design

Over excellent quality reel with sealed drag and strong overall design. Cannot wait to try it on some reds and smaller tarpon in the Keys.

Nothing compares to a Maxxon Cage!

It's fantastic! I will guarantee that you will not find a better reel for the price. And the price is simply the most obvious feature to discuss. The reel is absolutely the best thing I have ever fished for Great Lakes Salmon and Steelhead. Each incremental drag setting actually adjusts the drag to exactly where it needs to be for the species you're after and the conditions you encounter. I own a 12, 10, and an 8. Good luck finding a reel that can subdue a King Salmon like a Maxxon Cage can 10 0r 12.

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.
