Hardy Zephrus Ultralite 9'9" 4# Vs Hardy Zephrus 9' 4# FWS

[@jonsyrrist4715]

I've gor myself a 9,9' #2 zeph UL, and I'm so looking forward to a little bit more spring😁 Combined it with an FWDD reel. Happy ma with my longest and lightest rod, ever

Nice Jon! 👍

[@FishnSkate420]

I just came up on this same setup! I’m stoked

[@thomasbickel5128]

The Zephrus is my favorite rod. The 8'8" 3 weight is a special rod.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

That it is! 😄

[@thebummiesttroutbum1723]

Man I was screaming at you the fish were rising throw on that dry 😂😂 thanks for the review!

[@eastcoastbear8526]

Do you think this 9’9 would be good for brown trout reservoir fishing ( traditional) and if so would it be best in the 4 or 5 weight configuration. Thanks

[@TheSavagederek]

Have you tried the Demon range? I know it's lower in the range but the 10ft #7 is the best Stillwater /reservoir trout rod I've ever fished, and I've owned a few Hardy rods as well as an Orvis and a Loop.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Hi Derek, yes, they are excellent value for money... I have a couple of 7# for Bonefishing and they have performed brilliantly..

[@ryantherock7664]

I have the zenith 9ft 4wt...one of the finest rods ever made...i use it for lake fishing casting big weighted wooly buggers easy out to 70ft...id love to try the updated model

[@saabvanderlinden9214]

Which would be better. The 8.6 or the 9ft zephrus?

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

I would go with the 9’ as it will give you more flexibility... I have the 9’4# and love it...

@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing tnx 👌

[@saabvanderlinden9214]

@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing for the 8.6 would recommend a half size heavier line like say a SA mpx... En what line you use for your 9 ft?

[@for1sekundsedan180]

Do you use a featherweight or a LRH in this video ? Is a featherweight to small for this rod ?

[@simongoddard8490]

Great review as usual! Keep them coming.

[@connieagg7006]

did you try the 9' 9" 3 weight if so what was your conclusion (zephrus ultralite)

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Hi Connie, I did get one of those as well and fished with it for most of the end of last year for nymphing... it’s a stunner...

[@connieagg7006]

Thank You@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing

[@for1sekundsedan180]

I love the reel

[@saabvanderlinden9214]

Iam thinking about buying the Hardy zephrus #4 9ft.. For the dutch windy days, and more.. 'all round'.. rod for my kind of fishing, or possibly the 8.6 although that's a bit short I think 🤔... Iam in the market for a new #4 all round fly rod... Orvis Recon 2020... or the new sage sonic ... 🤔

[@richardisaac1957]

Hi great video, and demostration, love that rod, but also your jacket? Where could i get one?? Reards R.

[@XtremeLaplander]

Thanks for great video! I have the Zephrus 4# 8´6" and really love the rod, but wanted more length for euro nymphing because now I have to carry separate 10´nymphing rod. When I saw the new Zephrus 9´9" I was sold. I´m just about to buy it, but cannot decide between 3# or 4#. I have heard that 3# has a lot of power for landing also bigger fish, but can you tell me more about differences if you have tried the 3 weight? I thought 9´9" 4 weight would be perfect new all rounder for modern nymphing, dries and swinging pair of wets in the ponds and lakes, but can you do the same with the 3 weight, is there a remarkable difference in casting distance and power? How about sensitivity? Thanks for help

[@XtremeLaplander]

Thanks for info. How about casting distance between 3# and 4# are these as powerful rods but the main difference is just sensitivity? I also want to be able to cast some distance with couple of nymphs in lakes and bigger rivers where euro nymphing techniques does not work.

[@armjamal1]

@@XtremeLaplander he doesnt answer ur question ha hmmmmm...i think i wanna know the same

[@saabvanderlinden9214]

There is a 9ft zephrus #4 also... Bit longer then the 8.6

[@stevenmichaellewis5720]
