Soldarini HYDROPSYCHE FULL CONTACT XUL Fly Rod

Soldarini Hydropsyche FULL CONTACT XUL Fly Rod - Sensitivity & Control

The Hydropsyche Full Contact XUL is the result of uncompromising development by Sandro Soldarini. Designed specifically for euro nymphing, it delivers direct contact and outstanding sensitivity. Its ultra-slim Graph-Carbon blank (45° fibers) eliminates twist for pinpoint control and a drag-free drift.

The key innovation is its integrated 3K carbon grip. Unlike cork, which dampens vibrations, carbon transmits every micro-take or bottom contact straight into your hand. It sets the benchmark for anglers who fish technical euro nymphing where every detail matters.

Key Features

• Two Tips Included : Supplied with two interchangeable tips for total versatility:
  - Solid Tip (solid carbon) : Extreme sensitivity and the ideal softness for ultra-light nymphs and protecting the finest leaders.
  - Hollow Tip (Standard) : Crisper and more responsive, perfect for heavier nymphs, dry-dropper fishing, or punching into the wind.
• Maximum Feel : 3K carbon grip bonded to the blank so you truly feel everything happening below the surface.
• Lightweight & Balanced : "Skeleton" down-locking reel seat for perfect balance with lightweight reels.
• Technical Finish : Sea Guide guides with carbon-fiber wraps for minimal weight and increased resonance.
• Practical Details : Measuring marks at 20, 30 and 40 cm on the butt to quickly estimate fish length.
• Protection & Design : Supplied in a rigid compartmentalized travel tube, premium carbon finish and clean, high-end aesthetics.
