Mantap realnya ...kalau mcng ikan mas di empang bagus gk ya😂
I remember the River Meon being as pristine, with the clean gravel on the river bed. Now I see a horrible Brown/black slime.
This reel might be perfect for my Abercrombie fiberglass rod.
As long as you buy high quality fly line you can go cheaper on the rod and reel, the feeling is unreel in high quality line, esp for beginners
I can't find information about the fishing rod Hardy zenith 12.6#7 where and when this model was made, I want to see a photo or video.
Had one, overpriced junk in terms of practical use. Lovely to look at. 1/2 to 1lb drag? For a Salmon reel? Get a grip. I got rid and got a better sounding reel (subjective) with better materials and an actual drag (also zero inertia). They've had their day and have to allude to some kind of servility to a royal master to get custom from the brain dead. My opinions of course.

nice review! thanks
Just got one at Dunhams to learn to fly fish. They changed the drag and look of the reel. Doesn't come with any flies anymore unfortunately
It’s not a fully enclosed reel 🤔but partially for left or right winding but a good first Euro nymph set up
Guys what size of reel u recommend for a very light 5wt rod...the 4000 or the 5000?
Mine 13,6 is the best rod i have ever tried. Baught mine this summer - i have flyfished for salmon with 2 handed rods for more than 25 years- and this Hardy Ultralite NSX rod just works like a dream.
Nice rod hardy.china
Deco art looks. Wonderful
Get rid of that rubbish fly reel and line flies etc it's junk, the rods especially the premier is have decent that's about it.
Er no - the Featherweight is the 3-wt, and the second lightest. The 2-wt is the Flyweight and the lightest of the range.
Thank u for the info.
👍 ! Very useful !
LOVE Hardy rods and reels!!!!!
'sympathetic blend'... wtf is that supposed to mean? More crap from latter days failing Hardys....
I bought one, the cork handle was very poorly finished, I had to sand it down myself. The reel is shoddily engineered and rattles as the spool doesn't fit on the spindle accurately. Why don't you do an honest appraisal? I will take your reviews with a pinch of salt in future.
I think the drag nob is to large in the smaller sizes. The knob is larger then the reel , almost. Change this for the smallest reel-sizes.
Nice pattern
Where would someone from the US be able to purchase one?
How would this fare on a trout spey rod?
Avoid this reel to flimsy for -0c grayling fishing the gathers on the reel and the ice pops the flimsy click system and the reel pays line freely, Hardy know it’s an issue but still charge a fee to fix a product not fit for purpose, looks good but there’s better reels on the market.
£580 🤣
I use a 6wt for all stillwater applications and have no problem I use mainly a imtermidate fly line casting weighted flies no problems.
Nice fly, I think that one will take a fish or two. Tight lines.
Lovely to watch and be inspired on a December afternoon and think of a spring day in 2023. Where ever we manage to cast a fly ..be it a dry Adams on a stream like this or a Waterhen Bloa on a northern river Swale Eden or Irwell we have alot of history behind us and much to fight for to keep those streams vibrant with life despite the indiffererence of the Environment Agency ,Water companies and Industrial farming Simon Artley Manchester UK
Well said. Despite the odds against, I try to remain hopeful for an eventual and permanent 'sea change' in my own lifetime, towards the protection and preservation of our streams and rivers. However, having recently re-read some of my old 'Angling' magazine collection from 1968 to 1970, in which angling personalities of the day (Brian Harris et al) were complaining bitterly about exactly the same indifferences back then, it seems that no progress has been made at all during the last 50 plus years. A sad case in point is the Costa Beck - a spring fed limestone stream in North Yorkshire with very similar characteristics to a chalkstream - which has now been completely destroyed after decades of pollution from sewage and fish-farm discharges. Even with the Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water now facing legal action for gross dereliction of duties, the wonderful trout and grayling populations which used to be so prolific in that stream could take a generation or more to return, if at all.
Nice looking pattern thanks for shareing
I encountered a hatch of lake olives at Carsington and the trout were being fussy. Put on a pattern very similar to this with similar pheasant tail....and they were no longer fussy! Simon Artley Manchester.
three piece and no rod tube seems a bit out of date to me
Kinda late reaction but still... it really doesnt matter. Shimano fly fishing gear is one of best in the world in my opinion. I had 10s of fly fishing reels and rods and i can say Shimano gear lasts ... i still have Shimano reels and rods which are 10+ years. Looks like new and never let me down. Truly awesome gear durable. At this moment i fish Shimano Biocraft XTR LA reels. I have it 4x and ill not switch to anything else till they works. Shimano really knows how to put things together. So no tube ? Just buy one or grab higher series which provide case. 3 piece ? Not big deal if u have traveling tube for many rods. + it holds together nicely.
Bought a Marquis and spare spool in 1994 ,still my main reel .
Nit having snake guides affects casting or not?
not in the slightest, better snakes reduce friction ,tight lines !
Love the classic lines of this reel, great video 🐟
whats is different before cross sx and cross s1, i wanna buy one handed rod for small streamers,fish max 65 cm in my river. :) i already buy cross s1 9 #4 for dry fly and New opti stream fly line but not a real idea this line is good for dry fly fishing? should i change ? :)
I can’t believe how tight the tolerances are on this reel. There’s absolutely no wobble between the frame and spool. It’s fit is comparable or better than a lot of $450 reels that I own. It’s tolerances are way tighter than the Sage ESN reel, I own two, and as tight as my Ross reels, if not tighter. Great review, thanks!!! Buying a couple very soon.
Ok you've proved you can read, but how do you know any of the Hardy marketing pish you just read accuratley represents the rod ? Clearly you haven't cast with it.
cool
Hardy lifetime guarantee is a myth. My salmon rod snapped in May and was told it had fallen out of warranty as it was over 12 months old (by a month). Charged me for the replacement section.
Fine! but how do they test on the water Don?
Amazing! Perhaps the best rod I've ever fished with. It's so much fun and so smooth. I had an Asquith and this rod and just put the Asquith away for the day. This rod was just right for throwing dry/droppers with a Rio Gold.
This ia a paid advert not a review 🤪
Nice rod I got the 14ft.6.
Great review and a rod I will have to check out as it looks ideal for NZ conditions. My 8'6" Hardy 5-6 Favourite has served me well but an upgrade is overdue. Kind Regards from down-under in NZ.
Gonna put this on my maxcatch
I haven't seen that brand for ages!! A lot of new anglers in the 90 used to buy a combo like this one! Glad to see a new combo of SHAKESPEARE.
Sound quality poor
🤪 𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈M
What about the widespool Zenith ? Miss that One
Zenith never sold in big numbers, in fact regarded by the workers as an occasional 'odd part' to make, and also I got the impression anything large arbor hardly sold anyway, quite contrary to logic, at least from the Hardys manufactory in the '1970's. Quite odd really as nowadays and quite rightly so, large arbor are appreciated and demanded. Makes sense, who the fck wants to be winding a line 'sub cotton reel' ie retrieval is everything. But as the late, great Ian Blagburn remarked as he once singularly (quite remarkable as he ultra-rarely burst into the Dev Dept during the day - note in reality Hardy Management wld only emerge once the workers had gone home) .... "All you need is a scrap of floorboard and a nail" ... wtf, maybe he was recollecting his childhood experiences crude as they were .... and therefore why did we have a Dev Dept?
