Hends GPX AFTMA 3 – fast and sensitive fly rod for Czech nymphing and dry fly fishing
Hends GPX AFTMA 3 is a modern fly rod designed for anglers looking for a combination of high sensitivity, low weight, and enough power reserve for fighting larger fish. The sensitive tip allows the use of very thin leaders, while the stronger lower section of the blank provides excellent control during presentation and fish fighting.
The shorter 275 cm configuration offers excellent performance for dry fly fishing, versatile river fishing, and delicate nymphing techniques. With the extension section installed, the rod becomes a full 305 cm setup suitable for Czech nymphing, euro nymphing, and technical long-distance presentations.
