This video provides a review of the Hardy Ultralite LL series of fly rods. The review covers my own fishing experiences with these rods and their pros and cons. I also provide direct head to head comparisons with a lot of other rods in our shop and describe how the Hardy rods stack up in terms of flex profile, swing weight, recovery speed, and other associated aspects like casting accuracy, tippet protection, and hook setting and fish fighting power.

This review is a long video, so I have provided time stamped chapters for various sections of the video.
