Hardy Ultralite 10' 6wt Fly Rod
Our Thoughts:
The Hardy Ultralite 10' 6wt is the ultimate stillwater rod and the shop's absolute favorite. It's a shame they're updating this rod because we feel it was already the perfect tool for the job. A very powerful butt section met with a sensitive tip allows this rod to handle the heaviest of sinking lines and floating lines alike. This rod's extra length allows for the rod to bend deeper and protect your tippet when large trout are making massive head shakes to spit your fly. It also helps the line keep off the water when fishing from a boat or float tube and allow for further casting distances. There's only one left, but this is by far the BEST stillwater rod we've ever fished.
Here's What Hardy Has To Say:
The award winning Ultralite range of fly rods features SINTRIX NSX construction. This proprietary material is based on our industry changing original SINTRIX technolgy that has been combined with a second classified material allowing us to build an even lighter and stronger fly rod.
This lighter weight material provides targeted modification of the blank design while further strengthening the blank strength. The net result is a lighter and more responsive rod that allows the angler to "feel" the line load during the casting stroke, giving a greater degree of control than ever before.
The reel seat on the Ultralite is a masterpiece of form and function-moving more of the rod's weight behind the hand giving unsurpassed in-hand balance. The single start threading resist the reel loosening under heavy use and has a keyed body to further ensure a snug and aligned fit for your reel.
