Hardy Ultradisc 3000LA 2/3/4

The Hardy Ultradisc 3000LA (also known as Ultradisc UDLA 3000) is Hardy's lightest disc-drag fly reel ever produced — a minimalist large-arbor masterpiece engineered for ultimate finesse in trout and grayling fishing. Handcrafted with premium bar-stock aluminum, it features an innovative enclosed line guard frame that protects ultra-thin fly lines, mono running lines, leader-only systems, and Euro nymphing rigs from damage or pinching.

Key specs include:

• Line rating: 2/3/4 wt
• Diameter: 89 mm (≈3.5 inches)
• Weight: 107 g (≈3.8 oz)
• Capacity: WF4 + 45 yds 20 lb Dacron backing
• Drag system: Multi-pad scaled Rulon disc drag — buttery-smooth with virtually undetectable start-up inertia (max drag ≈4 lb / 1.8 kg)
• Additional features: Enclosed frame design, large-arbor spool, quick tool-free spool release, reversible left/right-hand retrieve, sleek anodized finishes (commonly Gunmetal Green or Black/Orange)

This reel shines in dry-fly, Euro nymphing, small-stream, and high-sticking scenarios where minimal weight, maximum sensitivity, and gentle drag for thin tippets (down to 7x) are essential. A groundbreaking ultralight disc-drag reel — minimalist, smooth, and perfectly tuned for finesse river success.
