A new range of luxury quality, dual set up nymphing / dry fly rods with light weight slim blanks tuned to deliver tailored actions in both configuarations.
The overall appearance, quality of fittings and performance are a step up from previous Hends rods which considering how well they perform shows how much progress has been made. One major change is that the extension piece now has a guide ring which avoids the large gap to the first ring with previous models. This does force re-rigging to swap from nymph to dry and vice versa but changing set up properly requires this anyway,
The material is a now IM12 carbon fibre re-enforced with nano fibres. The reel seat combines attractive impregnated wood with anodized aluminium screw clamp. The rod includes a hook keeper.
There is a good review online at http://www.onstream-guide.com/OnstreamGuide_Ezines-rodtest.html
The rod comes with a velour bag and a hard protective rod case.
