Model 3 ½”: Spool Width: 1-5/32.” Weight: 12.5 ounces Fly Line: 7,8,9 single hand rods, 4,5,6 two handed rods and switch rods. Capacity: 125yds 30# micron DT8F or WF9F. Application: Saracione's smallest disc drag model designed for single hand salmon and steelhead rods in the 7,8 and 9 weight class. Also a perfect choice for lighter two-handed rods in 5, 6 & 7 weights, and of course switch rods. It is a great “Crossover reel”.

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 the most popular salmon and steelhead reel period! Anglers from all over the world have shown that this is their reel of choice. The spool capacity accommodates some of the most popular line weights, and the reel balances well on the latest 12ft -13 1/2ft rods.

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.

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.
