There have been many improvements in fly rods in the last few years. Rods featuring this or that material and
claiming to be the best available today. No doubt, these are all great casting rods. The minds of Alnwick were not
resting throughout all of this, they were patiently waiting for the material they now call Sintrix to reach to point of
perfection. We heard rumors about a rod with incredible strength to weight ratios that would withstand more impact
and strain than any rod available today. As if strength wasn't enough, these light rods would feature unsurpassed
casting performance.
We expected great reviews on the rods but we were a little surprised when the reviews placed the new hardy Sintrix
rods in a class by themselves. The Hardy Sintrix rods scored way above the other rods in every category. This wasn't
one of those casting comparisons by stuffed shirt lawn casters that you see in the magazines, these were real fly
fisherman and the rods were tested in real fishing situations.
Performance / Zenith - In order to provide an honest review we had to put all of the great reviews and comments out
of our minds. This quickly went out the window. We were holding a rod with more power than we have ever felt. It was
like you hardly had to do anything. Perfect casts every time! One of the special qualities of the Zenith is that it does
everything perfectly whether it be reaching out to 80ft. or fishing in close. The rod felt great no matter what the
situation was. You simply can't ask for better performance than this.
