On the one hand, it was a very accurate rod, but the high line speed made for tougher presentations at shorter distances
This fine set from Hardy has your stream fishing covered and looks oh so good on a fly rod especially those made from Arundinaria amabilis
On small fish it behaves like a lighter elastic, but when you hook something bigger it powers up smoothly, offering more controlled stretch than a standard heavy solid elastic
Designed with V-joint Technology at each connection point, the connections can flex, enabling a more even distribution of power and flex across the rod, ultimately making it feel and perform like a single-piece rod
