Fly reels are unique in the fact that they are mainly just for holding your line opposed to casting it. Fly reel size is down to the size of line that you are going to use as they vary in size. The majority of time when fly fishing you play fish by retrieving the line using your hands, only when moving up to bigger fish such as salmon,seatrout this is where having a reel with a drag system is needed.

A new benchmark in reel design! The Hardy Ultralite MTX is Hardy's first fly reel to feature Hybrid Carbon fibre / alloy main frame construction. Strong, light and with a stunning industrial design the MTX features a Carbon fibre drag system with a 340 degree colour coded regulator, captive spool release and high line capacity. For a reel that is carbon fibre and alloy, it is incredibly light but sturdy. Therefore it will balance perfectly with good quality single hand fly rods, and will offer years of reliable usage. The colour coded drag system provides a visual guide when you need to apply just the right amount of pressure on the spool. Having a colour guide can be particularly helpful when you are trying to land fish in highly oxygenated water where their fighting qualities are extraordinary, or if you happen to hook a large fish on light leaders and small flies. The colours go from red - the tightest setting, amber - increased tension, and green marks - no drag. Replacing the spool on the MTX is very easy. Simply unscrew the cap, remove the spool and replace with the new spool. This lets you change fly lines quickly and efficiently, for example, say you want to change from a floating fly line to a sinking fly line but don't want to interrupt your fishing too much. It is a beautiful looking reel and will site nicely on any good quality single hand fly rod. Extensive research and development has gone into this reel and is the product of rigorous testing and strict quality control methods. Therefore you can be confident that you are getting exceptional value for money.
