Hanak Superb XP

Hanak Superb XP 9'3" #0 is the newest and lightest euro-nymph rod model for those looking for the ultimate ultralight setup for tight line, euro style nymphing, long rod dry fly fishing, or long leader dry-dropper setups. 

Appointed in a minimalist clean style with clear silk main wraps and gold ferrule wraps to complement the teak wood insert on this ultralight reel seat. Stealthy matte olive finish.

The rod has so much tip feel that is sweet when casting dries, with enough backbone for bigger fish should you strike one on the nymph. But a delight to fish on those finicky trout and grayling in smaller sizes. 

This is the ultimate rod for fishing small flies, not only small fish, fish catching machine. I'm sold! 
Thanks for looking. More are coming!

Tom Morgan

This rod is a Morgan replica build, "the Tom Morgan way". 

This build was commissioned by a dear friend last fall and was lucky I could still find a blank and have it ready for the start of the season.

A gorgeously handcrafted, TMR engraved burgundy leather case was a must.

We decided to fit the rod with a Tiemco Oracle reel and a SA ART line. Can't praise enough how smooth these translucent burgundy beauties cast. 

I love the end result, I'm sure Tom would have been happy to see it. This is "the thought rod".

Thanks for looking! #perfectionflyrod
