There are adverse conditions that place particularly high demands on our equipment - extreme weather, extreme distances or even extreme flies. The Ultralite X is Hardy's answer to these demands. That's why it's also significantly faster than the standard Ultralite, which is especially designed for delicate presentations on Trout and Grayling. Nevertheless, the Ultralite X comes up trumps with an equally low weight, which makes the hearts of demanding fly fishers beat faster. The combination of low weight, extremely fast recovery speed and impressive power is made possible by Hardy's Sintrix NSX construction, which is combined here with a higher proportion of high-modulus carbon fibre. The innovative Rapid Taper Blank design maximises material performance and allows you to form accurate, tight loops even with the largest flies. The powerful butt section of the blank is designed to lift heavy sinking lines off the water, cast short-belly lines with an aggressive front taper and confidently direct feisty fish in the fight.
Other features of the Ultralite X Sintrix NSX series include modern titanium guides with ceramic inserts and lightweight snake rings. In the lower line classes the rods are equipped with a fine wooden spacer and half-wells handle, while in the higher classes a carbon fibre spacer and a full-wells handle with fighting butt are fitted. The Premium AAAA cork handle fits perfectly in the hand. The blank features a dark 'Red Metallic' finish. The high-quality reel seat with saltwater-resistant anodising also makes the Ultralite X a particularly good choice for Sea Trout anglers.
In short: the Hardy Ultralite X Sintrix NSX blows us away in all line classes and is without doubt one of the absolute top class on the rod market. An ultra-light rod series that convinces us with a lot of power, excellent casting performance, noble components and high-quality workmanship. The line classes cover many interesting areas of use, from Trout and Sea Trout to predator fishing for Perch, Pike and exotic predators.

About Sintrix NSX:
Hardy's Sintrix NSX fly rods combine the established Sintrix 440 technology with a secondary nano charged material that retains the core properties of the proven carbon fiber, while improving the feel, resilience and balance of the blank in the hand without relying on the increased stiffness of the high modulus material. Sintrix NSX allows additional weight savings without sacrificing stability. The result is rod blanks that allow the caster to feel the cast better and thus optimize control.
