FLY RODS

Rods have improved immensely in recent years, and 2012 brings even more advanced product to the range.

Lightweight skeletal reel seat

Top grade titanium guides

Fast action Sintrix blanks

The Hardy Sintrix rods are probably the most talked about range of rods in the last few years. New technology allows Hardy to push the limits of what rods can do further than ever before, allowing them to build stronger rods at a lower weight. Most importantly though, the rods are also fantastic to cast and to fish with, and are right at the cutting edge of what is possible.

Full Wells with Extended Handle

Hardy Zenith Sintrix Rods The Zenith is the freshwater version of the Sintrix rods. Whilst being an ultra-high performance rod, they remain user friendly and as with other Sintrix rods they have an incredible strength to weight ratio.

FEATURES • High performance, fast action rod with Sintrix technology • Top of the line titanium guides • Stunning Hardy designed skeletal reel seat • 4 piece blanks as standard

Comfortable fighting butt

REC titanium line guides

Saltwater custom hardware

SINTRIX™ material provides rods which are 60% stronger, up to 30% lighter and with hugely improved impact resistance over conventional carbon fibre. How does it do this? SINTRIX™ is an enhanced fortified matrix resin which supports and bolsters the carbon fibres in a rod blank to withstand a far higher degree of bending and loading than ever before. Through technology, exclusive to Hardy & Greys Ltd, specially treated silica nano spheres are blended into a SINTRIX™ resin. Thousands of the nano spheres surround every individual carbon fibre giving a very even distribution of the particles throughout the resin which results in rods with unparalleled smooth casting actions.

FLY RODS

SINTRIX™ – What is it?

Hardy ProAxis Sintrix Rods The saltwater version of the Sintrix rods is an outstanding rod, which was developed by a team lead by five times Tarpon Gold Cup Grand Champion Andy Mill. The increased strength, lightweight and smooth action work particularly well on a saltwater rod and allow you to cast further, fish longer and fight harder when it really matters.

Hardy Glass Rods Glass reinvented? Are we talking 2012 or 1960? Howard Croston, Hardy’s product manager explains. “Glass fibre has been largely ignored over the past 20 years in favour of lighter and faster carbon fibres. It’s true that carbon is a superior material for lots of rod construction purposes, but not all. Adding glass to the mix gives a rod incredible durability and resistance to impact making it ideal for the toughest fishing on back-country rivers and streams.”

By mixing 90% glass fibre to 10% carbon, Hardy has produced a silky smooth action rod that is easily loaded. They allow short range, controlled presentation with the absolute minimum of fly line beyond the tip ring. For the light stream angler working in the tightest situations, Hardy Glass is the perfect choice. Supplied with an alloy tube and a protective canvas cover.

FEATURES • Easy loading, durable blank for toughness • Lightweight blanks and sliding reel fitting • Tapered cork handle with classic styling

“The ONE rod becomes a true extension of the angler’s arm. It offers a more fluid transmission of energy from arm to fly. The eye sees the cast it wants to make and is translated to the hand through the rod instantaneously.” - Sage Designer Jerry Siem Hold your smart phone over the QR code to hear more about the Sage ONE. You can download QR reader free from the APP store.

Sage TCX Rods The TCX is the ultimate rod for distance, speed and power, yet still gives you fantastic feel and is very light. Jerry Siem has created a radical series of rod tapers using state of the art fibre alignment and graphite core wrap technologies combined with generation 5 technology. All this helps the caster get intuitively better timing and a new level of casting ease but is capable of casting into the teeth of a gale and casting great distances.

Sage ONE Rods NEW PRODUCT Sage is bringing new and revolutionary Konnetic technology to fly rods. Konnetic is an advanced carbon fibre technology exclusive to Sage. The new rods are impossibly light and give the ultimate in line control and accuracy due to virtually no lateral or torsional movement in the blank. Now 70% lighter, low profile ferrules help direct energy through the rod without sacrificing strength, critical action or feel. Rods are produced using Sage’s Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS), a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fibre materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength and energy

transmission. Sage’s High Compression Moulding process (HMC) compacts the blank’s carbon fibres to optimum density and allows precise fibre alignment. The new 50% lighter all-carbon fibre inner core is simultaneously bonded to the outer wall during the process.

Sage ZXL Rods What happens when generation 5 technology meets the silky smooth action of the Sage SLT fly rod series? Answer: The Sage ZXL fly rod is created. The Sage ZXL Series rods are significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for everyone who enjoys the relaxed casting rhythm of a classic actioned fly rod with a progressive taper. Sage, through their exclusive generation 5 technology process, have removed every

gram of unnecessary material from each rod blank and have replaced the traditional glass hoop fibres with lighter, more responsive graphite. In fishing terms the ZXL rods provide the angler with an incredibly high line feel and response resulting in intuitively better casting. The smooth progressive action flexes right down the grip giving incredibly delicate presentation. Test cast a ZXL and see how much fun it is to relax.

Greys XF2 Streamflex Plus Rods Changing conditions on streams often require an angler to carry two rods to rapidly take advantage of fleeting opportunities. The brilliant Greys XF2 Streamflex Plus with its patent-pending extension system, gives two rods in one. This extension system allows this precise 9ft 6” dry fly rod to be transformed into a 10ft nymph fishing rod in seconds. The perfectly balanced 6” extension section is securely held within the butt section of the rod until needed; it can be deployed without the need to re-thread the rings and gives you the added extra reach so important when nymph fishing.

FEATURES • High modulus 4 piece design • High grade cork and composite handle • Custom designed anodized alloy reel seat with extendible butt • Woven carbon reel seat spacer to reduce weight • Gunsmoke rings and a matt blank finish to reduce flash • Triangular Cordura tube

Waterworks ULA Force SL Reels The Force SL (Super-Light) represents the world’s lightest full-drag true large arbor reel. A combination of subtle space frame and complex CNC carved cross sections make the SL more rigid, more rugged and even lighter. The V-Series style integrated foot/frame raises the centre of mass making casting smoother while the high-grip drag knob makes fine-tuning the world’s smoothest drag system even easier. The F2 SL can pick up line quickly, store it without coiling, provide a consistent drag torque and still weigh in at an incredible 2.95 oz.

The 6000 series is the flagship of the Sage reel line up and pinnacle of contemporary fly reel design. Built around a sealed graphite disk drag unit, the 6000 series reels resist salt, grit and dunking to deliver buttery-smooth performance under tough conditions. Big fish and high drag settings? No problem. Just twist the numbered, one-revolution drag knob, strip out line, then return to the exact setting you’ve tested for consistent, reliable drag levels every time. Sage have removed all unnecessary weight and maximized strength with curved surfaces and complex geometry. Other features include a unique concave spool hub that increases strength and line capacity; simple no-tool left/right conversion to left/right hand wind and an innovative one-click quick-change spool mechanism.

Sage 4500 Series Reels

Colours: Black/Platinum

Based on the award-winning 2500 series, the Sage 4500 reels are lighter, stronger and better looking. The sophisticated, high-performance 3:1 geared graphite drag unit provides the kind of power and smoothness you’d expect from a large traditional drag system, only without the bulk or weight. It’s also completely sealed from the elements and features a one-revolution adjustment knob for quick and accurate drag settings. 4500 spools are interchangeable with the original Sage 2500 series reels.

Wychwood SALT Fly Reels

Wychwood Truefly SLA Reels

The Wychwood SALT fly reel features their new award-winning super-large-arbor design. Created using lightweight barstock Aluminium this reel is the world’s lightest saltwater proof cassette fly reel at the time of launch. Featuring the new, powerful, saltwater proof drag system - the Neptune Torque System [NTS], the braking capacity of this drag halts screaming runs from the most powerful of fish using carbon fibre discs housed within a fully anodised core.

The Truefly super large arbor (SLA) cassette reel has been created using the highest design specification and a contemporary design. The Truefly SLA Reel has the largest arbor and is the lightest reel in its class. The modern lightweight design is attained by using die-cast aluminium with as much material removed as possible without compromising on the engineered functionality.

The unique, polar white finish has been designed for repelling extreme sunlight. It maintains a cooler external temperature than all of its closest rivals, particularly in tropical climates.

The Truefly SLA is built around a super-strong, smooth and concealed rulon drag system. The Truefly SLA is packaged in a custom built protective case, complete with two spare lightweight polycarbonate spools.

3volution Switch Tip

• Floating

Salmon fly lines have changed dramatically in recent years. From a common speyline ancestor this evolution has spawned three fly line families – short head spey, skagit and shooting head. Now Speyworks have combined the best attributes of each into one very special fly line – the Speyworks 3volution Switch tip.

• Medium sink 3” per second sink rate

• Intermediate 1.6” per second sink rate • Fast sink 8” per second sink rate • Tips are custom tailored for perfect turnover performance in all fishing conditions Hold your smart phone over the QR code and watch Bill Drury explain to John Bailey why 3volution is so special. Download QR reader free from the APP store.

The introduction of the Speyworks 3volution fly line heralds the start of a new era in salmon fly fishing. Designed and tested on the banks of the Spey by ghillie and champion speycaster Bill Drury this line is set to be the most important line introduced this year. This line can be fished in classic style as a speycasting line but will also allow you to benefit from all the advantages of Skagit lines and Shooting heads.

WADING What to wear

The more comfortable, warm and dry you are, the less tired you will get and you will enjoy your fishing for longer, and hopefully catch more fish!

Page 52

HAT A lot of heat is lost through the head, so it is important to wear a hat when it is cold. LIFE JACKET Absolutely essential for deep or fast-water wading, or when fishing from a boat.

BASE LAYERS Keep you comfortable both by insulating you and importantly by wicking any moisture away from the body. INSULATING LAYERS This is the layer that retains your body heat on cold days. Typically this will be fleece, as this has a very good warmth to weight ratio and dries very quickly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; essential when fishing.

GLOVES Warm hands work best, especially for intricate actions like tying a fly on. Fingerless or foldover gloves are popular. WADING JACKET This is your weather protection layer. It is waterproof, breathable and will be designed to protect you completely from wind driven rain. A breathable fabric is essential to stop condensation building up inside and making you damp and therefore cold. WADERS The key piece of equipment. Chest waders are ideal, as they can be worn for deeper wading but most can be rolled down at the top when warm. The best ones have carefully cut legs with seams moved away from the inside leg to stop them rubbing together and causing durability issues. Stockingfoot waders with separate boots offer better fit and versatility.

WADING BOOTS When wading, it is essential that your feet are well supported on the uneven, hard to see river bed, and that they grip to a multitude of wet surfaces. Felt soles with studs are a traditionally good all rounder, but increasingly specifically designed rubber tread patterns are taking over. Separate wading boots offer a better fit and support than you get with bootfoot waders.

SOCKS Decent wading socks not only keep your feet warm, but also move moisture away from your skin.

orderline 01544 327 111

WADING STAFF To stay stable and secure when wading, a wading staff is an essential tool.

Patagonia Rio Gallegos Waders £399.00 Patagonia’s flagship waders are up there with the best. With some real innovations and one of the best breathable waterproof fabrics available, they are supremely comfortable to wear making your fishing more enjoyable. The unique feet have a Merino wool grid pattern lining which is far more comfortable and warm to use than traditional neoprene feet. All exterior seams are reinforced to reduce wear and the suspension system allows you to drop the top down without unclipping the shoulder straps.

Simms G4 Pro Stockingfoot Waders

Simms Guide Stockingfoot Waders

Based on the ultimate G4 Guide Wader but without a zipper, these fantastic waders bring cutting edge performance to the mainstream market. Set to be the choice of the serious fisherman.

A new design which uses the front seam construction legs and articulated knees from Simms more expensive waders but couples it with a slightly lighter fabric. This makes them even more breathable but slightly reduces the durability, so they are reinforced at the front of the legs.

£549.00

FEATURES • 5-layer and 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric technology, reinforcing vulnerable areas

• Patented front and back leg seam construction for improved fit, increased articulation, and decreased leg seam abrasion

• 4mm high-density neoprene stockingfoot with hourglass seam design for more cushion and increased durability • Adjustable elastic 1.5” suspender with YKK non-locking buckles • Zippered hand warmer pockets with quick-drying micro fleece lining Code 80231

Guideline Alta Bootfoot Waders

Page 56

Orvis Endura Bootfoot Waders The Orvis bootfoot model saves you time spent gearing up to get on the water. The comfortable neoprene-lined boot features a raised and vented removable insole to circulate air and give comfort with every step. Built around a new four-layer fabric system with a 5th layer of polyester microfibre reinforcing the knees to give added protection where a wader takes most of its abuse. The main four-layer fabric is of a tightly woven, polyester face fabric coated with a layer of breathable polyurethane, with a breathable membrane and a nylon backing to handle all you dish out when fishing. A full-time wader for all levels, built to last, unlike similarly priced waders. Adjustable suspenders with opposing buckles easily convert the wader to waist high. Wader safety belt included.

The bootfoot wader is often recognised as being the most convenient style, but has often been let down by the quality of the boots themselves. However it is now possible to get very good boots attached to waders and the Guideline Alta is a great example of how good bootfoot waders can now be. They are also an extremely capable wader in their own right, comfortable and highly breathable, and also come with a front zip for quick relief, as well as several useful pockets.

FEATURES • NoSweat Four layer breathable waterproof fabric with additional reinforcement in knees • Neoprene lined boots with raised and vented insole

FEATURES

• Fully adjustable suspenders

• Eclipse Twin Sensor waterproof breathable fabric from Japan

• Converts to waist wader by rolling down top

• Superlight and comfortable shoe with felt sole

• Integral wader belt included

Seaguar Saltwater IGFA Leaders

Seaguar has taken its world renowned pure fluorocarbon tippet material and transferred it to a knotless tapered leader that is perfect for Salmon and all saltwater species from Bonefish to Permit, Stripers to Jacks. Adheres to IGFA class regulations.

These leaders have a stiffer butt section to optimise the energy transfer from the fly line and a supple tippet that offers superior knot strength, incredible toughness, and built-in shock resistance to deliver a more stealthy, drag-free presentation compared to other fluorocarbon tapered leaders. Perfection loop included. Frog Hair Fluorocarbon Leaders Code 80011 lb.

Filleting

One of the recent advances in fishing techniques has been the recognition of the importance of barometric air pressure on the ability to catch fish. Andrew Bett’s informative book ‘Trout, Salmon and the Evening Rise - The Barometric Breakthrough’ explains this, based on much personal research and experimentation. Casio’s advanced range of watches allow the simple measurement and recording of pressure, but also offer the keen outdoor enthusiast an excellent tool for navigation thanks to their in-built compasses and altimeters. Any fisherman can seriously benefit from these techniques - learn to catch more fish!

Filleting Board A wipe clean, non-slip, PE board with a strong spring clamp to hold fish securely. 23 x 7”. £9.99

Code 80343 Snowbee 7” Prestige Filleting Knife Superb quality knife with a 7” forged steel blade and a pakka wood handle. Supplied with a leather sheath.

The Barometric Breakthrough – Trout, Salmon and the Evening Rise This is the second edition of the book which will actually help you catch more fish, now in a larger format. Understand why the weather plays such an important part in the fortunes of the fisherman, and learn how to take advantage of this by using a barometer to tell you when to, or not to, fish for the best chance of a bite. Hardback – 188 pages.

The effect of a rising barometer is amazing, and the study findings strongly recommend: ‘Don’t go game fishing without a Casio barometric watch!’

Copper: Copper is a very high contrast lens that is soothing to the eyes. It absorbs blue light, heightening visual acuity and boosting contrast, making this lens the best choice for sight fishing applications. Brown: Considered by many to be the best all-round tint for fishing. Provides excellent contrast and true colour perception. Great for shallow water and flats fishing in medium to bright light. Yellow: Excellent for low light conditions such as first and last light or heavily overcast days. Blue Mirror: These hard-coated mirrors virtually eliminate water marking and scratching. Excellent for ‘big open water’ fishing in bright light conditions.
