It also had the lightest swing weight of any rod we ever tested. Good news: Hardy has made the Zephrus Ultralite even better. Enter the Ultralite LL, Hardy's new for 2020 rod series built for technical trout fishing. From fine dry fly work to euro nymphing, this series truly covers every technical trout fishing scenario. From 9'2 models to 11'2 models, Hardy has shaken up the definition of 'dry fly specific fly rod'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: #4492c6;\"\u003eModel Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

NSX combines SINTRIX with a secondary classified additive that allows Hardy to build rods with lower prepreg weights. This lighter material allows Hardy to modify the blank design without affecting the strength of the rod. The final result? Lighter, more responsive blanks that provide the angler with more feedback and feel and quicker recovery times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGuides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic-Lined Titanium REC Recoil Guides\u003c\/strong\u003e - REC Recoil guides are extremely lightweight and highly practical.
