Hardy joins the Scott Tidal and the Sage Motive in the mid-priced saltwater fly rod market with their new Hardy Demon Salt. Today’s saltwater rod market is saturated with big names like Thomas & Thomas, Sage, and Scott. Hardy seems to fly a bit under the radar when it comes to well-known saltwater fly rod manufacturers, however, it seems they’re trying to put the Hardy name into the saltwater tide pool. Do they succeed? Read on to find out.
Hardy seems to like the idea of fly fishing as a way to release your inner demons. We’ve seen several rods from Hardy marketed with the image of a demon including the Hardy Demon Smuggler and the Hardy Demon Salt. Well, they’re back at it again with a new mid-priced rod series that includes the Hardy Demon FWS (freshwater series). The Demon FWS replaces the Jet as Hardy’s well-rounded, do-it-all fly rod series. What demons will Hardy’s new FWS help you release? Read on to find out.
Are you a minimalist? Me too… when it comes to a 4 wt anyway. Slimmed down, sleek, functional, ultra-responsive and ultra-light. That’s what I look for in a 4wt rod and that’s what Hardy has produced in the Zephrus Ultralite. I’m excited, to say the least. The Ultralite joins the Zephrus family and rounds out Hardy’s line of top-notch, multi-purpose, do-it-all fly rods built with Sintrix 440 technology. The Ultralite, therefore, is the best-of-the-best and stands in a 4wt class of its own. Read more to find out why.
