Hardy Ultralite X 9' 8wt Fly Rod
Our Thoughts:
The 9' 8wt Hardy Ultralite X is a very fast rod, but still has enough life in it where it doesn't feel like a broomstick. We've fished this rod hard and it's one of our favorite streamer rods when fishing from a boat. This rod also doubles as a great bonefish and light redfish rod when wind conditions are high and/or when distance is required.
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.
