Perfect for saltwater flats trips, the Hardy Marksman Z fly rod is a groundbreaking addition to the company’s premier saltwater rod range.
The latest in performance materials helps deliver a level of strength, reduced weight, and durability. The Hardy Marksman Z will be an angler’s ally in the unpredictable and varied challenges of the saltwater environment. From calm, early morning runs to windy afternoons, the Marksman Z ensures an optimal cast, even from an unstable platform.
The rod is designed with a unique blend of feel, power and recovery in partnership with some of the world’s finest saltwater guides, seasoned anglers and industry legends. Sintrix FLT is applied to an updated mandrel design, which helps create a stronger butt section. This gives you increased lifting power in the lower section of the rod, making it strong enough to pull big fish from cover yet extremely light in the hand.
“We’re delighted to introduce the Hardy Marksman Z, the newest addition to our superior range of fishing rods,” said Jim Murphy, Director of Fly Fishing for Hardy. “Our goal is to provide anglers with the best possible equipment that can stand up to any condition, and we believe the Hardy Marksman Z fly rod exemplifies this commitment.”
