Hardy Ultralite Sintrix NSX 480-4 - ROD1017

The Hardy Ultralite Sintrix NSX 480-4 is a precision instrument built for the technical trout angler who demands finesse on small to medium waters. At 8 feet in length, this 4-weight configuration offers exceptional accuracy in tight quarters, allowing for delicate presentations of dry flies and light nymphs. The rod features a refined medium-fast action that provides the perfect blend of power and sensitivity, enabling you to generate high line speeds while maintaining the tactile feedback necessary for short-range control.

Hardy has re-engineered their legendary blank construction with Sintrix NSX technology, which combines a secondary classified additive with the carbon fiber matrix to significantly reduce weight without sacrificing strength. This results in a rod that feels incredibly light in hand and recovers crisply after every cast. The build is finished with top-tier components, including ceramic-lined titanium recoil ("Ceracoil") stripping guides and lightweight Recoil snake guides, ensuring durability and minimal friction. A custom-designed reel seat, laser-engraved with the line size, completes the premium aesthetic.

Sourced from a private estate collection, this rod is in Like New condition and has never been fished. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a current generation, top-of-the-line model in pristine shape without paying full retail. By choosing this pre-owned Hardy, you are securing a high-performance tool at a fair price, ensuring your budget stays intact while your gear performs at the highest level.
