Hardy & Greys - Alnwick, England

Overview

A versatile double-handed rod for those who like casting, or fishing in rivers which favour the use of a full line. Provides performance at short as well as longer range, a much overlooked yet very important factor when choosing a fishing rod.

The XF2 T Series rods are fuller flexing and more classic in design with longer handles and traditional ringing patterns. The blanks perform best with medium to longer head Spey lines and upper hand dominant casting styles. The deeper flex of these rods gives an efficient yet very user-friendly action.

During development of the XF2 T Series and S Series, super high speed photography was used to optimise the ringing patterns on these new rods, to get the most from lines when casting.
