The Hardy Tactus dry fly and nymphing rod models have been long awaited by us at the shop and we are stoked that they are finally here! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Hardy on the dry fly model: \"For anglers who thrive on precision dry-fly and light-line presentations, the Tactus Dry Fly Rods offer unmatched feel and finesse. Using Hardy’s Sintrix FLT technology and Croston-designed tapers, these rods combine featherweight construction with crisp recovery to deliver effortless accuracy and delicate control. Tactus Dry Fly models excel with long leaders, technical \"Spanish-style\" dry fly fishing, and folded leader casts, to produce drag-free drifts that fool even the wariest trout. Available in 9’2\" and 9’9\" lengths, the shorter rods are ideal where accuracy and delicate presentations are needed. The longer versions extend reach and mending capability while retaining the supple tips required for tight-line versatility—making them equally at home with dries and nymphs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Hardy on the Nymphing version: \"Engineered for today’s most advanced European-style nymphing techniques, the Tactus Nymphing Rods redefine contact and control. Each rod combines Hardy’s Sintrix FLT construction with specialised tapers to create exceptional lightness, sensitivity, and stability across extended lengths. A powerful butt section provides authority over large fish, while a supple, high-recovery tip ensures accurate presentation of lightweight nymph rigs. ##Each rod is supplied with two interchangeable tips, allowing you to perfectly match your rod to the application at hand. The traditional tubular carbon tip offers the familiar feel and load preferred when casting heavier flies or multiple-fly rigs—providing appropriate control for those heavier loads. For lighter flies and finer leaders, the solid nano-carbon tip offers unmatched sensitivity and loading, making light flies easier to cast and control on delicate leaders. Together, these tips make the Tactus Nymphing series the most versatile nymphing tools Hardy has ever produced—lightweight, balanced, and responsive, with the strength to subdue large fish and the shock absorption to protect the finest tippets.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"accordion-header flex justify-between items-center w-full py-md\" type=\"button\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-header__icon w-[16px] leading-[0]\"\u003e\u003csvg class=\"icon icon--minus\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 1.75\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"m16,.88c0,.48-.39.88-.88.88H.88c-.48,0-.88-.39-.88-.88s.39-.88.88-.88h14.25c.48,0,.88.39.88.88Z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003eTactus Dry Fly Rod Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSintrix FLT construction for exceptional lightness and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item border-t border-grey-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Product9283512533130-features\" class=\"featured-bullets accordion-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-md rte\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefined tapers provide precision and delicacy for technical dry-fly fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-recovering blanks maintain accuracy with long leaders and subtle casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9’2\" lengths optimizes accuracy, reach, and mending control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9’9\" lengths prioritizes reach and mending control with a versatile design that crosses into tightline nymphing when required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-lined titanium stripper guides and titanium recoil snakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight custom reel seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium ferrule plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in Hardy rod tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to master fine-tippet, drag-free presentations on challenging waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTactus Nymphing Rod Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-tip system: tubular carbon for heavier rigs; solid nano-carbon for light flies and fine leaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended lengths (10 ft +) maximise reach and drift control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSintrix FLT resin produces extreme lightness without sacrificing strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown-locking reel seat optimises balance for long- rod applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow stripping guide reduces line sag and maintains direct contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnground blank surface prevents monofilament leaders from sticking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-leg snake guides in the tip reduce leader wrap and enhance stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-recovery action for precise casting and sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tips for maximum shock absorption and tippet protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hardy","offers":[{"title":"9'2\" 3wt","offer_id":67624284880951,"sku":"HROTAC923","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'2\" 4wt","offer_id":67624284913719,"sku":"HROTAC924","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9'9\" 3wt","offer_id":67624284946487,"sku":"HROTAC993","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9'9\" 4wt","offer_id":67624284979255,"sku":"HROTAC994","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10'2\" 2wt w\/Hollow and Solid Tips","offer_id":67624285012023,"sku":"HROTAC1022\/2","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10'8\" 0\/2wt w\/Hollow and Solid Tips","offer_id":67624285044791,"sku":"HROTAC10802\/2","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10'8\" 3wt w\/Hollow and Solid Tips","offer_id":67624285077559,"sku":"HROTAC1083\/2","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11'2\" 2wt w\/Hollow and Solid Tips","offer_id":67624285110327,"sku":"HROTAC1122\/2","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/5544\/7863\/files\/HAR_TactusFlyRod_1590698_alt1_jpg.webp?v=1792086247","url":"https:\/\/localflyco.com\/products\/hardy-tactus-fly-rods","provider":"The Local Fly Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
