Hends GPX AFTMA 2 – exceptionally sensitive fly rod for French nymphing and dry fly fishing
Hends GPX AFTMA 2 is a modern fly rod designed for anglers who demand maximum sensitivity without sacrificing the backbone needed to handle surprisingly large fish. Its exceptionally responsive tip protects the finest leaders, while the more powerful lower section provides confidence during the fight.
In its shorter 275 cm (9') configuration, the rod excels at dry fly fishing, delicate river presentations, and traditional nymphing. By adding the extension section, it becomes a full-length 305 cm (10') rod, offering improved drift control for French nymphing, Euro nymphing, and other modern tight-line techniques.
