Hardy Ultralite 9'6" 6wt Fly Rod
Our Thoughts:
The Hardy Ultralite 9'6" 6wt isn't a rod that most of fish all the time, but when we're floating we certainly will be throwing it. This rod is perfect for float fishing when hopper-droppers, nymphs, and streamers are on the menu. Its longer length can cast a country mile and mend like no other. The extra length on this rod does not hinder its ability to throw dries or streamers. This rod seems to have a lot more reserved power than others in the line up, so I wouldn't bet on throwing 5x very often, but when we're floating that doesn't happen very often anyways.
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.
