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.

We have sold these SuperLite reels for over 8 years and have found them to be an incredible value for an american made, machined, large arbor reel. They are very smooth and light, with the M5SL (8-9wt.) SuperLite weighing only 6.3 oz.! The M4SL is one of our most popular reels for steelhead, bonefish and other heavy freshwater or light saltwater. The M5SL is great for salmon, stripers and other saltwater species. The M6SL SuperLite will handle all 10 & 11 wt. lines for larger species and lighter 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.

Note:   Many people love these reels because they are one of a few reels that offer a silent retrieve with a smooth micro outgoing click. This combination offers the angler a quiet reel during the retrieve with a great feel for those long runs.
