Big Water Anglers Turn To Two-Handed Fly Rods

New Hardy Zephrus Double-Handed rods fit the bill for big rivers.

Alaska salmon, steelhead in the Midwest and huge trout in Patagonia all have one thing in common. They are not always easy to reach with conventional one-handed fly rods. The new Hardy® Zephrus Double-Handed fly rod will lift longer lengths of line and cast heavier flies to reach more distant targets.

With SINTRIX® rod blank technology, the carbon Zephrus double-handed rod has strength throughout for the ability to load deep in the rod. This results in a smoother casting motion, higher rod tip speeds and longer casts. SINTRIX 440 blank construction makes the Zephrus rod 60-percent stronger than traditional carbon fiber rods with up to 30-percent savings in overall weight.

REC® black pearl recoil guides with Fuji® titanium stripper align the Zephrus blank for optimum casting distance. The triaxial carbon spacers deliver added sensitivity to the Zephrus and the TPSF handle‘s custom reel seat design securely holds the reel in place.
