 At Anglin Active, we have the 2016 Hardy Ultra Light MADD Mid-Arbor Distrag Reel, coming in an accented anodised grey finish machined from full Barstock 6061 aluminium. Boasting a single turn colour-coded drag system, the reel offers a visual reference for the drag setting and a captive spool release system completes the ergonomically considered features of the reel. This attractive version of the two new Hardy Ultra Light Reels has the biggest of the two capacities. The Ultra Light MADD Reels vary in size from 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10,000. We've found when using the reel the mid-sized arbor spool, although smaller in diameter than the Ultra Light CADD, the retrieve is capable and by no means a disadvantage. The one turn carbon composite multiple-distrag system is effortless with the colour-coded red, amber and green gauge. We have also found to change the spool, wash or even change the wind direction, the captive spool system is as easy as it gets, the white unidirectional bearing can simply be flipped and returned to the housing and you have changed the wind direction without any fiddly parts. Replace the spool and tighten the captive screw and you're on your way. We are particularly impressed with the 2016 Hardy Ultra Light MADD Fly Reels in all their sizes and we offer all of the sizes in-store and online. In conjunction with the Ultra Light MADD, Hardy have also released the Ultra Light CADD, the conical arbor-distrag reel, which differs in that it has a larger arbor spool offering faster pickup speed but otherwise the reel is very similar.
