Taking design inspiration from a team of topnotch guides as well as tarpon icon, Andy Mill, the Marksman Z was built to make light work out of pursuing anything from 150+lb tarpon to the most skittish permit on the flats. Starting with Hardy’s Sintrix technology, the Marksman Z provides a fast action, quick recovery, and smooth touch while casting, and it does all of this while maintaining a lightweight feel that’s about as durable as it gets–throw in Titanium Recoil guides, a custom reel seat–equipped with fast line weight identification–and an elegant blue color, and you’ll quickly see why this rod has gained such positive reviews. Hardy makes the Marksman Z in line weights 6 through 12 with 9’ and 8’10” options, providing everything that you need whether you’re casting out of a boat at speedy pelagics or working a flat from shore at dead low tide. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSintrix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- The Marksman Z series begins with Hardy’s Sintrix blank and a fast action that gives the angler smooth casting, quick recovery, and just the right line speed. Hardy’s Sintrix technology combines a high-modulus carbon fibre with a rapid taper and an updated mandrel design to give you an ultra-fast rod that can throw a tight loop into the wind, yet still maintain solid feel when casting up close. And with the Sintrix tech, you also get outstanding durability as a result of microscopic silica spheres that encompass each carbon fibre filament. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardy’s Marksman Z is made in a frost blue color with black accenting wraps, and while we all know that chasing saltwater species is a game of performance, accuracy, and fortitude, this rod brings an aesthetic appeal that’s sure to keep your mind on the water even whenever you’re stuck in the cubicle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic Lined Titanium Framed Stripper Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Combining a ceramic lining with a titanium construction, these stripper guides give excellent line slickness as well as a super-tough design that can handle anything from bumpy boat rides to 12-hour shifts in the salt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium Recoil Intermediate Snake Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- Designed to be lightweight with serious durability, these titanium Recoil Snake Guides stand up to it all.
