Model 3 ¾”: Spool Width: 1‐5/32.” Weight: 14.4 ounces. Fly line: 6,7,8 Capacity: 125+yds
Application: The 3 ¾” Mark IV disc drag is our most popular salmon and steelhead reel period! Anglers from all
over the world have shown us that this is their reel of choice. We have trouble keeping this reel model in stock.
The spool capacity accommodates some of the most popular line weights, and the reel balances well on the latest
12ft ‐13 1/2ft rods. Reel price: $1,080.00 Spare spool price: $365.00
Model 4”: Spool Width: 1‐5/32.” Weight: 15.0 ounces Fly line: 8,9,10 Capacity: 150+yards. Application: If you are
going to own just one reel for all of your two handed rod fishing this is the reel. It comfortably balances most rods
13 ½ ft to 14 ½ ft long, that cast 7, 8, 9 & 10wt lines. All of the Mark IV disc drag models feature interchangeable
spools. But since most anglers are simply changing modern fly line heads‐ spare spools are no longer necessary.
But with this reel fitting such a wide assortment of rods, this is the reel to have that spare spool to help cover a
wide range of line weights and line types.
Basically setting up different backing capacities on each spool allows almost unlimited line selection. When we
determine rod and reel balance; we like the rod to balance in your upper casting hand, in the casting position on
the grip; with a fully loaded reel and shooting line extended through the rod guides. This will vary of course with
different rod manufacturers, line weights and rod lengths but that is our target within reason.

Model 4 ¼”: Spool Width: 1‐5/32.” Weight: 16.6 ounces. Fly Line: 9,10,11. Capacity: 225+ yards.
Application: The 4 ¼” is designed specifically to balance two‐handed rods 14ft‐16ft in length, for 8/9/10 weight
lines; at 16.6 ounces it does the job perfectly. This is the first model Mark IV reel Joe Saracione designed and built
when he created the Mark IV series in 2007. Joe enjoys fishing 14 1/2ft to 16 ft rods for winter steelhead and this
reel he designed specifically for that purpose. The spool capacity accommodates 225+yards of 30lb backing with
the above specified lines. The drag system is designed for long rod salmon and steelhead fly fishing‐ not Tarpon
fishing or any other sport.
Rod length creates line drag as the rod bends to a fish; the longer the rod the more drag is naturally created. The
addition of a gear & pawl overrunning check along with the disc drag allows the Mark IV reels to be fished with
very light drag settings to compliment their matching long rods (off the disc) and still control the spool RPM. The
“Clicker” in the Mark IV is a drag system in itself not just an audible click as on all other disc drag reels, it is a “Gear
& Pawl Drag”. This is a big rod, big line, big fish reel, designed for 2‐handed rods.

the 15’‐18’ range. Note: This model is being produced specifically because of repeated requests from Norwegian
fly fishers, and international anglers bound for
Norway, for an extra‐large fly reel for their trophy Atlantic salmon
waters.
