THE SINTRIX STORY

849 8 49
from

When we launched the rst SINTRIX technology rods in 2010, some people were sceptical. How will the claims of improved technology translate into shing rods? Is it just hype? Almost three years on we have a range of y rods that have won accolades from the press, competition anglers, professional guides, and of course the hundreds of other anglers out there enjoying their sport with these rods. The improved strength/reduced weight was the headline for the technology, but the rods shine for a dierent reasontheyre an absolute joy to sh with. The rods feel feather light in hand and can control and manipulate a y line a short range, and can also deliver a long cast or

pressure a strong sh in a tight situation. Not only have many anglers found its the rod they like best, Zenith rods have come out top in some pretty scientic head-to-head tests against other leading y rodsYellowstone Anglers shoot-outs have gained cult status with those who really want to get into the detail when choosing a rod, and in 2011 the Zenith 9 #5 topped the 5-weight shoot-out, and the Zenith 86 #4 followed up with a win in the 4wt shoot-out in 2012.

CHOOSING YOUR IDEAL SALMON ROD

Ian Gordon Hardy & Greys Salmon Consultant

Much work went into the development of our current range of Hardy Salmon rods. The T-Series has been designed with a more forgiving action, making it easy to bend, ex, or load the rod properly when using the most common, longer, casting stroke. If however, you use a shorter, Scandi style, casting stroke along with shorter y lines, then the S-Series will probably suit you better.

My advice however, is always to go along and try a rod before you buy it, because the one recommended by the expert may not suit Buy what feels right for your personal casting style , also, the size of river and species you are shing for.

Marksman 2
A comprehensive range of high performance y rods with a fast recovering easy to load action that meets the often opposing requirements of casting performance and excellent shability. Whilst ultra-fast action rods have their place in y shing often a more allround action is required to meet the rened aspects of tippet protection, line control and pure shing comfort. With a cutting edge blank design combined with subtle traditional styling, Marksman2 gives the discerning angler a rod that can meet the demands of technical shing and casting but in a user friendly package that you forget is in your hand.

ULTRALITE CLS
John Horsey Hardy & Greys Consultant

As a Pro Guide and fanatical competition angler, I need to carry mountains of tackle, including lots of y lines and reels, just in case a particular guest wants a certain set up. I prefer to use cassette style systems, which reduces the number of reel cages and their associated bulk. The new Hardy Ultralite CLS reel is perfect for me. I can store all my lines on lightweight spools, each marked with an ingenious line size and sink rate tagging system that even I nd easy to use! The spool locking device has to be the quickest on the market and most important of all, the reel itself is engineered to the highest quality and is a joy to own.
