Designed for Modern Double Hand Fly Fishing
The Hardy Ultralite NSX Double Hand rods bring together lightweight handling, smooth power delivery and the strength needed for serious two-handed fly fishing. The range covers key lengths and line ratings, allowing anglers to choose a rod that matches their preferred water, casting style and line system.
With application-specific actions, each model is designed to perform with its intended line rating rather than forcing one generic action across the full range. This helps improve casting efficiency, control and confidence when fishing different Spey lines and shooting head setups.
Sintrix NSX Construction
Hardy's Sintrix NSX construction gives the Ultralite NSX Double Hand range its combination of low weight, responsiveness and strength. The result is a rod that feels balanced in the hand while retaining the power needed to cast larger lines and control strong fish.
This construction helps the rod recover cleanly through the cast, supporting controlled loops, efficient line speed and consistent presentation across Scandi, Skagit and Mid Spey applications.
