Lite 406 Fly Reel
Pair Your Reel With:
Description
This CNC machined aluminum fly reel has been augmented with a carbon-fiber insert to make it even lighter; weighing in right around 5oz, this is an ideal choice for any fly fisherman looking to do some trailblazing.
Cutting weight doesn’t mean sacrificing control, however. With a flawlessly balanced spool and sealed, micro-adjustable disc drag system, you won’t feel any wobble when that monster trout takes off and sets your reel to screaming! A woven carbon finish makes for a handsome match with the Dearborn fly rod, but this fly reel is also a perfect lightweight addition to any of our rods.
The Lite 406 fly fishing reel is laser engraved with the MCCo. trout logo and comes in a protective neoprene bag and a 100% recyclable box. All of our reels can be easily converted from left to right-handed retrieve; learn how by watching the video below. Just scroll down past the reviews and you'll find the video.
