Hardy Ultralite NSX DH 10156-6 - ROD1128

The Hardy Ultralite NSX DH 10156-6 is a highly specialized travel rod designed for the globetrotting angler chasing the largest anadromous species on the planet. Built in a unique 6-piece configuration, this 15’6” rod fits easily into a standard suitcase, solving the logistical headache of traveling with long spey rods without sacrificing an ounce of performance. Rated for a 10/11 line, it is a true "big water" tool, engineered to lift long belly lines and heavy tips from deep currents and punch wind-resistant flies across broad rivers. Its length offers superior line control, allowing for effortless mends at distance and precise swing management when targeting Atlantic salmon or winter steelhead in challenging conditions.

At the heart of this rod is Hardy’s proprietary Sintrix NSX construction, a material that combines their legendary Sintrix resin with a secondary additive to significantly reduce swing weight while maintaining high compressive strength. This technology gives the rod a crisp, responsive feel that defies its substantial length, allowing you to cast all day with less fatigue. The blank is fitted with ceramic-lined titanium RECOIL guides that are flexible and corrosion-resistant, ensuring they survive the rigors of travel and saltwater environments. A custom-designed aluminum and carbon reel seat anchors the reel securely, balancing the rod perfectly in hand for optimal casting mechanics.

It is exceptionally rare to find a current-generation flagship rod in this condition on the secondary market. This specific rod is in Like New condition, having never seen the water; the plastic shrink wrap is still intact on the cork handle. With a retail price of $1,400 for a new model, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine, unfished Hardy travel spey rod for hundreds of dollars less than the sticker price.

Don't miss this chance to secure the ultimate travel companion for your next expedition.
