Building on the success of our Velocity series our manufacturer approached us 18 months ago concerning new graphite with improved durability and core strength through an advanced multi-directional carbon-fibre matrix which enables our new HLS² series to be lighter and stronger.
We have taken a great deal of time in ensuring each line class represents its true purpose, by this we mean that our creek rods in 3 and 4 weight are medium action, our river and lake rods are medium/fast actions and our saltwater series are fast actions. No need to have a fast action on a creek rod where light tippets, delicate presentations and short distances are its primary use; likewise it is important to have fast action on 7, 8 and 9 weight rods where weighted air resistant flies and fast moving species are your primary target. We encourage all fly anglers to visit their local fly tackle retailer and try the new HLS² series of fly rods, you will not be disappointed in either their performance or presentation. From tube to fittings, simply no corners have been cut and they are the equal of many rods twice their price!
Think of headwaters in mountain streams, think alpine rivulets and you get the picture of how this lightweight fly rod fits into the range. With its compact 7’6” length allowing access into overgrown areas in headwaters of streams, presentation is your only focus as your line travels beneath the overhanging obstructions like scrub and branches. Designed with a medium action for delicate presentation in shallow, clear riffles and pools, your fly will land accurately and softly, not alerting the spookiest of trout
