The Marksman blends the most modern research with classical styling. The key lies in the ultra smooth blanks giving medium-fast recovery. This combination is perfect for nearly all river and light still water situations.  Hardy has created an elusive blend: here is rod that can put out tight loops yet yield gently to the pressure of a taking fish.  Ultra-light rod rings aid the rod’s recovery, vital for casting in the tightest situations. Even the reel seat is exquisitely sculptured and finished in nickel-silver. With a sumptuous finish, the Marksman is an irresistible rod that just has to be used.
