For 2019, Orvis has taken one of their most popular reels and made it 30% lighter and with a narrower spool. How light? The LT3 - for 8-weight rods and lines - weighs a mere 4.3 ounces. Why a narrower spool? While the debate of wide spool vs narrow spool will probably rage on forever, the majority of seasoned fly anglers prefer spools around 1 inch in width. Being that the Mirage is a reel experienced anglers will fish for a lifetime, it all makes sense they buy what they prefer!
Despite it's dashing new look and light weight, the Mirage LT offers the same features as the regular Mirage: machined from 6061 aluminum, hard-anodized, with a sealed, maintenance-free drag system, with no start-up inertia and a fine-tuned drag adjustment. MSRP will range from $329 to $389.
