A look at the hardy zephrus fly rod.
This rod feels incredibly light in my hand exactly as it should.

Craftsmanship 10 points available.

If you want to economize in the presentation rods the hardy shadow is our best mid priced rod at 359 95.
The jet s medium fast action is fun but this rod definitely needs more power when.
Hardy is well known for their use of sintrix technology within its selection of fly rods and the shadow is equipped with this very same adhesive resin.
The h2 was significantly lighter faster and more powerful.
The hardy zephrus aws all water series fly rod brings a host of unique amenities to the table while still providing enthusiasts the same level of reliability that they have come to expect from this brand name.
In the power rods the fenwick fenlite streamflex at 339 95 is our mid priced winner.
Hardy jet 10 6 5 6 weight 294 50 for only being 10 6 i thought this rod would feel a lot lighter especially since the hardy zenith regular spey rods feel so light in hand.
For under 200 the best rods to consider are the fenwick aetos and the orvis clearwater.
Place in the hardy range.
We ll look at real user opinions the pros and cons of the series and how they stack up.
The house of hardy is a long established english fly rod firm which these days is part of the pure fishing inc group the hardy name is a premium brand and their rod offerings reflect that.
Hardy is one of the most respected names in fly fishing and it is therefore no great surprise that yet another impressive rod has hit the markets.
What makes this rod cheaper than the zenith.
Sintrix rods continue to be a revelation from that first 9ft 5wt zenith that won our annual 5 weight shootout back in 2011 right through to today.
I personally still think the 8ft 6in zenith is the finest 4 weight fly rod you can put your hands on.
Jet is the latest range of hardy rods using sintrix blanks so expect light and tough.
Scientific anglers gpx worked really well but it s also soft enough for standard weight lines.
