Hardy Ultralite CADD Spool

The Hardy Ultralite CADD Spool is a premium replacement or spare spool crafted specifically for the Hardy Ultralite CA DD (Conical Arbor Disc Drag) fly reel series. Machined from high-grade 6061 bar-stock aluminum with a striking two-tone anodized finish (commonly titanium/black or silver/blue variants), it delivers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance for freshwater or light inshore use.

Key features include:

• Ultra-large arbor design — fast line retrieval, reduced line memory, smooth line lay, and high capacity
• Conical arbor compatibility — works seamlessly with the reel's sealed multi-pad disc drag system
• Captive spool release — secure, tool-free swapping for rapid line changes mid-session
• Maximum porting — minimizes weight while preserving structural integrity
• High line capacity — e.g., WF5 + 75 yds 20 lb backing in mid-sizes, up to WF10 + high-volume backing in larger models

Available in various sizes to match the Ultralite CA DD range (e.g., 3000 for 3–5 wt, 4000 for 4–6 wt, 5000 for 5–7 wt, up to 10000 for 10–12 wt). Anglers value the precise fit, lightweight yet bombproof construction, fast retrieve, and flawless integration with the reel's buttery 360-degree color-coded drag. A beautifully machined, high-capacity ultra-large-arbor spool — light, tough, and engineered for seamless adaptability.
