Helios 3 Blackout 5-wt, 9'5" Fly Fishing Outfit

A product of strong collaboration, the Blackout rods are high-concept, extremely specialized fishing tools-each conceptualized in a partnership between our storied guides and gear designers.

It began as a supremely accurate 9' 5" 5-wt. boat rod, with superb long-range mending abilities on both reach casts and on-the-water drift manipulations straight to the indicator. Field-testing proved it's also a 5-wt. that impresses when it's time to hop a gunnel and fish backchannel sippers on foot. The product of strong collaboration, this is a high-concept rod born of a deep need from storied guides and their long conversations with our design team. That extra five inches is the secret sauce, providing added lift on your back cast without feeling overwhelming, with the comparable length advantages of a 10-footer in a rod that feels more like a 9. Straight up, it's a nymphing weapon and your dream foam dry or hopper/dropper combo all-in-one.

Rod outfit includes:

• Helios 3 Fly Rod
• Mirage LT II Blackout Reel
• Fly Line & Backing

Thomas & Thomas Fly Rod Paradigm 905-4 Rod

Ask a group of experienced anglers to name the greatest dry fly rod of all time, and the T&T Paradigm is sure to be mentioned more than once. Over twenty years later, we've followed the same inspiration that made the original into a legend to create a new Paradigm for the 21st century.

While the advance of technology has pushed the limits of rod weight, line speed and casting distance, the essence of stalking a rising trout and presenting the fly remains unchanged. With this in mind, we set out to capture the unique feel that made the original Paradigm fly rods such a magical instrument.

Features:

Lightweight Titanium Single Foot REC guides
Matte Titanium finish roll-stamped hardware
USA sourced Bird's Eye Maple spacers
Beautiful new semi-gloss blue surface finish
Hand-written logo, serial numbers, and additional visual accents
Ultra-light rods with smooth, medium flex action for exceptional presentations.

Hardy Ultralite Rod (4 wt, 8')

The award winning Ultralite range of fly rods features SINTRIX NSX construction. This proprietary material is based on our industry changing original SINTRIX technolgy that has been combined with a second classified material allowing us to build an even lighter and stronger fly rod.

This lighter weight material provides targeted modification of the blank design while further strengthening the blank strength. The net result is a lighter and more responsive rod that allows the angler to "feel" the line load during the casting stroke, giving a greater degree of control than ever before.

The reel seat on the Ultralite is a masterpiece of form and function-moving more of the rod's weight behind the hand giving unsurpassed in-hand balance. The single start threading resist the reel loosening under heavy use and has a keyed body to further ensure a snug and aligned fit for your reel.

Brothers 150ANV LW Reel (Featherweight)

When we looked through Hardy's history to find the best tackle to commemorate our 150th anniversary, it was quickly agreed that the Lightweight series in the 1970 edition was the correct choice to reisssue. A series that is a true Hardy original, and also price accessible, ensures the broadest participation in our celebration of Hardy. The full range is being reissued with a nickel silver double screw line guide, raised spindle casing, and a collectable leather reel bag. The line guard is marked with an engraved commemorative dating of 1872-2022 and will only be sold through December 2022.
