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.
Nine Zephrus double-handed rods are offered ranging in length from the 11-foot, 6-inch 6/7 weight that weighs just 6.6 ounces to the 15-foot, 1-inch 10/11 weight weighing 9.2 ounces.
MSRP for the Zephrus Double-Handed fly rod is $989.00 – $1199.00.
