MacKenzie Superlite Fly Reel M4 (7-8wt)

The MacKenzie SuperLite is an evolution of the original MacKenzie design. The award winning MacKenzie, introduced in 1995, changed the standard in fly reel design. The new SuperLite enhances the features that made the original MacKenzie reel an instant success light weight, large arbor, simple and a great value.The series covers 1-12 line wts. with 8 sizes. The M.5 SuperLite weighing only 3.5 oz handles the 1, 2 & 3 wt lines for ultra light pursuits. The M1 & M2 SuperLite cover the lines 4 , 5 & 6 wt. for trout, bass and pan fish. The M3, M4 & M5 SuperLite handle 7, 8 & 9 wt lines for steelhead, bonefish, salmon, stripers and other saltwater species. The M6 & M7 SuperLite take 10, 11 & 12 wt lines for larger species and the most popular spey lines.Due to the advances in fly rod building composites, we are fishing for larger fish with lighter weight rods that are more powerful than rods from just a few years ago. To achieve the true dynamics of these new generation fly rods, they need to be balanced with a light weight reel capable of handling large fish. The MacKenzie SuperLite is the lightest and simplest reel in their class. They balance perfectly with the new generation of lightweight fly rods and are a joy to fish with all day long, on the flats of Belize or the rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
