The CAGE Reel is a beast and I highly recommend it! Fully sealed drag, a dialed in drag system, best bang for the buck.

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.

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.
