Ever try a Hexagraph UL fly rod? |
Lead | ||
|
I've got this thing for a 1 piece UL fly rod. I don't know why, but it is a thing. Also I have been keeping an eye on Hexagraph fly rods for a couple
of years. I noticed that they now make a UL 5'9" 2 wt. one piece rod. Before I run out and proclaim this rod as being the the Holy Grail of UL
flyrods, I was wondering if any of you folks ever heard of them? Look at their site http://www.hexagraph.com. It would be easier to look at them than me try to explain it. I am going to be retiring in a couple
of months and I was thinking this might be a nice retirement gift to myself. Unless of course, you all were going to chip in a get it for me
.

Joe, I've certainly heard of them, but I've never had one in my hands. They are quite frankly, well out of my price range. I know of one review that is
on Bill Byrd's site.

Am I reading this correctly? Is it a solid graphite rod? WOW!

I, too, have heard of Hexagraph, and they are way out of my price range, but they seem like a nice stick.

Les, the Hex rods have a foam core, the outside flats are graphite.

I have a 3 piece Hex. It was way heavier in line weight than advertised. The finish does look bambooish. If you want a bamboo rod, I suggest that you buy a
real one. I guess anything is possible, but I can't see a 2 weight rod using their construction techique. Don

I used to have a 6'6" 3wt that was built by Walton Powell before he sold the company to the current owner. It fished a bit like cane, a bit like
fiberglass, and a bit like graphite. In the end it was a graphite rod that could toss a bigger fly than any other 3 wt that I have ever used. I remember
casting a size 18 light cahill to a Lahontan Cutthroat that I watched rise for an hour. It was deadly accurate, one cast and watched the fish sip it like it
didn't have a care in the world. A friend I used to guide for sold it to me. He had one also, until someone stole his out of his truck. I felt so bad for
him that I gave mine back to him.

I wondered if those rods were underrated, and I guess some are, some aren't.
