 The MacKenzie SuperLite is an evolution of the original MacKenzie design. The award
winning MacKenzie, introduced in 1995, changed the standard in fly reel design. The new SuperLite
enhances the features that made the original MacKenzie reel an instant success: light weight, large
arbor, simple and a great value.
The series covers 1-12 line wts.
with 8 sizes. The M.5 SuperLite weighing only 3.5 oz handles the 1, 2 & 3 wt lines for
ultra light pursuits. The M1 & M2 SuperLite cover the lines 4 , 5 & 6 wt. for trout,
bass and pan fish. The M3, M4 & M5 SuperLite handle 7, 8 & 9 wt lines for steelhead,
bonefish, salmon, stripers and other saltwater species. The M6 & M7 SuperLite take
10, 11 & 12 wt lines for larger species and the most popular spey lines.
Due to the advances in fly rod building composites, we are fishing for larger fish with
lighter weight rods that are more powerful than rods from just a few years ago. To
achieve the true dynamics of these new generation fly rods, they need to be balanced
with a light weight reel capable of handling large fish. The MacKenzie SuperLite is the
lightest and simplest reel in their class. They balance perfectly with the new
generation of lightweight fly rods and are a joy to fish with all day long, on the flats of
Belize or the rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
Special Order (7-14 days) Spool finish options at no extra cost are: Titanium, Pearl Gray, Agate Green or Baja Gold.
