Hardy Ultralite MTX 7/8/9 Spool

The Hardy Ultralite MTX 7/8/9 Spool is a premium replacement or spare spool designed for the Hardy Ultralite MTX (and MTX-S) fly reel in the 7/8/9 size (typically the 7000 series). Machined with a hybrid carbon fiber and aluminum alloy construction, it matches the reel's lightweight, high-strength philosophy with a sleek, modern industrial look and corrosion-resistant anodizing (commonly titanium/orange finish).

Key features include:

• Large-arbor design — fast line retrieval, reduced line memory, smooth line lay, and high capacity
• Carbon fiber disc drag compatibility — works seamlessly with the reel's sealed multi-disc carbon drag system
• Captive spool release — secure, tool-free swapping for fast line changes
• Maximum porting — minimizes weight without compromising rigidity
• High line capacity — typically holds WF8 + 115 yds of 20 lb Dacron backing
• Balanced and lightweight — keeps the overall reel feel nimble

Perfect for anglers using the MTX 7/8/9 for larger trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, pike, or light inshore saltwater applications, allowing quick setup versatility for dry flies, streamers, nymphs, or sinking lines. A beautifully crafted, high-capacity large-arbor spool — light, tough, and engineered for versatile, high-performance fly fishing.
