Hardy Ultralite X 9' 6" 7wt Fly Rod
Our Thoughts:
The 9'6" 7wt Hardy Ultralite X is a very technique specific rod, specializing in stillwater fishing and big indicator rigs for larger trout and smaller salmon (cohos, pinks, and sockeye). This rod handles sinking lines and long leaders associated with stillwater fishing like a champ. On the river end of things, it is the perfect indicator rod for big trout venues such as Alaska, Patagonia, and New Zealand. It also makes the perfect rod for the angler pursuing Great Lakes Steelead.
Here's What Hardy Has To Say:
There are adverse conditions that place a different set of demands on our equipment - extreme weather, extreme distance, or even extreme flies. The Ultralite X is the answer to those demands and is significantly faster than our standard Ultralite. The high recovery rates drive tight loops with even the largest flies. The more powerful butt section is built for lifting deep sunk lines, pressuring large fish away from snags, and handling density compensated fly lines with aggressive tapers.
