Proaxis Saltwater Rods - Four Piece

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.

Our 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.

The SINTRIX fly rods are now Hardy’s preeminent rod series. The saltwater Sintrix models are being called the Proaxis series and will be released in March 2011, while the freshwater models will fall into the Zenith series and will become available in January 2011.

Each is built with Hardy’s new proprietary SINTRIX material. SINTRIX uses 3M’s Silica Matrix Resin technology in combination with Hardy’s own unique formulation, and the results have been extensively field tested over the past 18 months. Hardy said that their, “team of fishing pros from the Florida Keys to Montana has hailed the rods as truly innovative and exceptional fishing and casting tools.” The SINTRIX material allowed the design team to build a series of rods that combines the best attributes of the modern reserve-power, fast-action fly rods with the more technical requirements of tracking and tippet protection — and a taper that shifts the load to the butt when you need to lay into a fish.

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

$655.00 – $695.00

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.

Range from 8’ 10” eight weight - 8’ 10” 12 weight

Proaxis 4 - Section Fly

$685.00 – $745.00

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.
