Christmas Grand Slam

Got to fish with a new toy that Santa stop by the shop for me. A trustee little 802-4 superfine touch and a new Hardy Ultralight 2000 CC. I recently decided to retire my existing 2wt combo 7'9" 2wt superfine  and my Hardy Feather weight. For a little rod it certainly has some big shoes to fill. The new superfine series from Orvis has taken the past and merged it with the future, the new rod maintain the touch and feel of the original superfine rods but with new strength added that makes the new rods way more powerful. Hardy has made a huge step into the 21 century with the Ultralight reels, which has  a smooth click and pawl drag that is so sensitive that 4 inch native brownies were pulling drag. Both the rod and reel have made a tremendous impact in an era of rods that are advertised as fast faster and fastest. I would be hard pressed to say that Orvis and Hardy will always make exceptional Fly Fishing Equipment and always will. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years and maybe i will se you on the run..
