Reel - Tournament MXC Carbon 3/7 Gun Smoke - SOLDARINI FLY TACKLE
The Tournament MXC Carbon 3/7 Gun Smoke is a versatile fly reel from Soldarini Fly Tackle. Its Large Arbor design, full-frame cage and construction incorporating carbon elements make it a lightweight, modern reel suited to a wide range of fishing situations.
Designed for #3 to #7 fly lines, it is equally suited to trout and grayling fishing as well as stillwater fly fishing. Its fully sealed carbon drag delivers impressive power while remaining progressive enough for use with fine tippets. At just 130 g, it is also a great option for some light predator fishing or coastal sea trout fishing.

La Fine Mouche's take: this Tournament MXC Carbon is especially appealing for anglers who want to use the same reel across several rods, from a #3 to a #7 fly line. Its weight of just 130 g, full-frame cage and sealed carbon drag make it a highly versatile reel, equally comfortable with fine tippets and on stillwaters with powerful fish. We also appreciate its very successful design, modern and understated, with a beautiful Gun Smoke finish that gives it real character without overdoing it. The spare spool is sold separately to order.
