Question: Hardy Zenith Sintrix fly rods are currently on sale at roughly 50% off full retail price. At these prices they would seem like an absolute bargain but... would you buy one?
I've been looking at various makes of fly rod to replace my cheap Flextec rod.
The Flextec is OK and excellent value for the money but I'd like to upgrade to something which will give me extra distance when needed and also be able to place a fly at short range when stalking on stillwaters. The subject of which fly rod will be subjective. Everyone will have their particular favourites like Orvis, Sage, Loomis, Guideline et al, so, without being able to try out numerous rods, what should I do?
BTW I have read that Hardy's and Grey's customer service has been below what you'd expect in recent years. Any experiences of this?
