Hardy Proaxis Sintrix Saltwater Fly Rod

The Hardy Proaxis Sintrix saltwater fly rod casting is dreamy... accuracy is sublime"

The Proaxis Sintrix rods are fast, have an ability to achieve high line speeds and the accuracy is sublime. Granted, good technique will be required, but this is the case for all high-performance fly rods. The Proaxis won't miraculously achieve extra distance or enable you to deal with windy conditions, but with a little practice it will certainly help.

The Proaxis ranges of 1 and 4 section fly rods have been designed and developed by Hardy in conjunction with some of the worlds finest saltwater guides and anglers.

The Hardy development team, led by five times Tarpon Gold Cup Grand Champion, Andy Mill, have pushed Hardy’s new Sintrix technology to the absolute limit - and the end result is staggering in both performance and durability. View Video

These fast-action rods are loaded with cutting edge features, like lightweight saltwater-safe hardware, titanium recoil guides and, of course, Hardy’s revolutionary Sintrix material. Proaxis rods are lighter, stronger, more impact resistant and capable of withstanding much higher loads than standard graphite fly rods. So, with less chance of damage, you can cast further, fish longer and fight harder when pursuing big saltwater species

Proaxis 1-Section Fly Rod:
Proaxis 1 Section rods have been designed and developed to offer the ultimate rod for the professional saltwater fly angler. The one section design provides a perfect match for the extreme challenges and pressures of saltwater fishing. Designed and manufactured with Sintrix (the latest in silica reinforced matrix resins), these rods can give up to 60% increase in compressive strength - and when combined with the one section design improves power transfer and removes the worry of a joint working loose in the heat of battle. The improved weight distribution further enhances the superb balance Proaxis range.

Proaxis 4-Section Fly Rod:
With all the benefits of the 1-Section rods, the 4-Section Proaxis have been designed and developed to offer the ultimate rod for the professional saltwater fly angler - but in an easy to transport, four section format.

Designed and developed in conjunction with Andy Mill. Manufactured with Hardy & Greys Sintrix Material - giving up to 60% increase in compressive strength. Incredible strength to weight ratio. High performance, fast action design. Top of the line titanium guides from REC and Fuji. Hardy designed two part skeletal reel seat.
