Hardy Aydon Fly Rod
Fast streams in Alaska with egg-munching trout, wet wading a smallmouth bass river in the middle of summer with a popper, tight and brushy streams where precision is crucial to success, the list of areas and fish goes on, but with Hardy’s Aydon Fly Rod, they provide a tool that can keep up with it all. Combining exceptional performance with all of the versatility that you need, the Aydon is a series of rods designed with equal parts power, precision, and fast recovery. The Aydon pairs a lightweight feel with top-notch componentry like its Sintrix carbon fibre blank and custom-designed reel seat, which gives the angler a rod that’s reliable and can be cast all day long. Designed in line weights 3 through 8, the Aydon provides an option for lighter applications like native trout as well as heavier-weight fish like freshly-run steelhead.
Blank
Sintrix - The Aydon series begins with Hardy’s Sintrix blank that gives the angler solid casting, quick recovery, and just the right line speed. Hardy’s Sintrix combines a high modulus carbon fibre with a rapid taper to give you an ultra-fast rod that can throw a tight loop into the wind, yet still maintain solid feel when casting up close. And with the Sintrix tech, you also get outstanding durability as a result of microscopic silica spheres that encompass each carbon fibre filament.
To complement those forested streams, Hardy’s Aydon blank sports a clean olive green color.
Guides
Ceramic Lined Stripping Guides - Made with Ceramic Lined Stripping Guides, the Aydon offers solid line slickness with all of the durability you’d expect.
Hard Chrome Single-Foot Snake Guides - A single-foot design shaves down weight while a Hard-Chrome build gives excellent durability and shootability. A solid guide configuration, the Ceramic Lined Stripping Guides and Hard Chrome Snake Guides combine to further enhance the castability of this rod series.
Reel Seat
Custom-Designed Lightweight Reel Seat - Made with a Hardy custom design and a focus on a lightweight feel, the Aydon’s reel seat remains durable for years without bogging the rod down. And with a dual-uplocking reel seat, you can put confidence in the fact that you won’t be spending all afternoon tightening the locking rings.
Rod Tube
Ready for travel–whether that’s a busy airport or a tight trail en route to this week’s home base–Hardy equips their Aydon Rods in a tough rod tube. Unlike most rod tubes, this one features a squared shape for further ease of storage.
Warranty
As of October 2022, Hardy’s Aydon Fly Rods are covered by their Worldwide Extended Warranty. This warranty is pretty straightforward, and for $75, it covers the repair or replacement of your rod.
