Description

There are few environments that can offer the challenge of the salt. Smooth early morning runs through thick air across nervous liquid silver flats can quickly yield to cast killing winds and seemingly impossible shots from an unstable casting platform. However when the wind drops, the stars align and you slide that fly into the bulls eye there is no match for the feeling of expectation turning instantly into adrenaline as a hundred pounds of chrome goes airborne or six pounds of silver leaves the flat like its been fired from a gun. The Hardy Marksman Z with its unrivalled blend of feel, power, recovery and down right durability has been designed in conjunction with some of the finest guides, anglers and legends in the saltwater world. From Gold Cups to grand slams and a thousand different challenges in between, the Hardy Marksman Z is the right rod for that right moment in the Salt.

Amazing rods! I love these rods! I have them from 7-12wt and these rods are no joke! I am a full time fishing guide and my clients from beginner to expert can cast these no problem! I use the rods mainly for tarpon and they can put some heat on the fish! I use all of the one piece except my 7wt, I use the 11 wt on big tarpon. I have switched all my rods over the past couple years to Hardy. Pair it up with the fortuna reel and you have the best combo around! Way to go Hardy!
