Hends GPX #1 – ultra-light fly rod for dry fly fishing and French nymphing
Hends GPX AFTMA 1 is an extremely sensitive fly rod designed for anglers who want maximum feel, ultra-light weight and excellent contact with both the fly and the fish. Thanks to its high-quality blank and incredibly low weight of only 73 g (78 g in the extended configuration), it is an excellent rod for delicate fly fishing, grayling fishing and technical presentations.
The shorter 255 cm setup is ideal for delicate dry fly fishing on smaller rivers. With the extension section installed, the rod becomes a full 280 cm setup perfectly suited for French nymphing, delicate euro nymphing and technical control of lighter flies.
