The Hardy Ultralite was discontinued about a month ago and replaced with the Hardy Marksman.Only the Hardy Ultralite SR is still available which is very different to what is being reviewed here.

Good review Daniel. I see on the Hardy web page the Ultralight is listed as a medium fast action. Yet you mentioned several times your #5 weight is a fast action. Have Hardy changed the action rating since you bought yours? I just bought an 8'6" #4 Hardy Ultralight but it's still in the post so haven't examined it yet. I can live with a fast action but I prefer medium fast in most of my rods.

I love mine, but also know it was replaced by the Marksman model. If you can find one discounted, and they are out there, or used, snatch one up as you will not be disappointed. I love Hardy rods and reels and have used and own many of them myself and couldn’t imagine parting ways with them myself, they are that good!
