HCE Hyper Spec – dual weight fast action all water fly rods.
A new proprietary blank design from HCE.
The Hyper Spec blanks have been developed & tested by the HCE design team based on the knowledge and experience we gained from designing the Native Spec and new Stream Spec.
We combined this knowledge with our distance competition rod
building and design to create a unique blank that we see as the ultimate in
versatile fly rods.
When we set out to design our dual weight fly rod, foremost
in our minds was the challenge to get these rods to cast as equally well in
both their designated line classes i.e.: a 5/6 rod had to cast 5 like a 5 and a
6 like a 6. Not an easy task.
However, that is what we have achieved! Through the careful use
of different modulus top quality graphite in a high tech blending process we
have a fast blank that loads progressively according to grain weight through
the tip.
We had many good local fly fishers cast our prototype and a few
have already bought rods & blanks.
All had good things
to say about it.
So what will it be used for? Image bombing the Tongariro
today, then slamming Bones tomorrow... Or flicking nymphs down and across in a tail
water today then muscling bream from under pier pylons tomorrow… Or standing on
a windward Tassie lakes shore, hunting cruisers in the waves… Or throwing long
lines to reach distant risers… When you need a rod to battle hard core elements
and stay on the water, this is the one. It will give you punch, it will give you reach
- it will give you versatility on the water.
Our Hyper Spec builds use H & H O/S tips, REC snakes and
Fuji Ti K-Frame SiC strippers. The hand glued and turned flor grade cork grips
and accented by a dimpled winding check, pewter all water reel seat from either
Struble of REC and a REC butt cap to suit.
The blank is made in New Zealand and our builds are in a
beautiful jett black gloss blank with silver and gunsmoke trims and black
binds. Blank buyers and home fly rod builders can order whatever color they
like.

and above. From 7’ to 9’ in 2/3wt to
11/12wt - we have your next hard core fly fishing tool covered. Just quietly, we've
changed dual line weight rods forever.
