Hardy Ultralite MA DD Fly Reel

The Hardy Ultralite MA DD is a premium large-arbor fly reel from Hardy, machined from bar-stock 6061 aluminum for outstanding strength, lightweight construction, and a refined two-tone anodized finish. It combines the smooth performance of the Ultralite series with a mid-arbor spool design that balances high line capacity, fast retrieval, and reduced line memory — ideal for trout, grayling, bass, or light inshore fishing.

Key features include:

• Mid-arbor spool — excellent line capacity and quick line pickup while keeping the reel compact and balanced
• 360-degree color-coded drag system — smooth, precise adjustments with clear visual reference
• Fully sealed multi-pad disc drag — consistent, low-inertia performance with reliable stopping power
• Captive spool release — secure, tool-free spool changes
• Maximum porting and balanced frame — minimizes weight while maintaining rigidity
• Two-tone anodizing — corrosion-resistant with a classic, industrial aesthetic

Available in multiple sizes (e.g., 3000 to 10000 series) for line weights from 3–5 wt up to heavier setups. Anglers praise its lightweight feel, buttery-smooth drag, fast retrieve, and exceptional build quality. A beautifully machined, high-performance freshwater reel — light, smooth, and engineered for serious anglers.
