Hardy Firecrest

The Hardy Firecrest is a fast-action fly rod built for demanding conditions: strong wind, large flies and long casts. It was developed and proven on the windblown rivers of the Northern Rockies.

The blank is made of Hardy's Sintrix FLT with an exceptionally high recovery rate. It forms tight, wind-cutting loops and has the backbone to turn over even air-resistant flies in heavy conditions.

The powerful butt section lifts sinking lines and helps steer large fish away from structure. The stable tip keeps casts accurate with aggressive tapers and heavy lines.
