4.0 out of 5 stars. Crisp action, subtle cosmeticsVerified Buyer Reviewed by FlyFisher1 from Bend OR on Monday, July 22, 2019This Hardy Shadow is a fine 5 weight fly rod. The action is described as moderate fast. It loads easily at short distances and holds up well as casts lengthen to 60 feet or more. Yes, this is an older generation of the Shadow. I personally prefer the olive-brown blank with dark brown wraps and silver reel seat over the current wine colored blank with red trim and black reel seat. Being able to purchase a $379.00 fly rod that performs quite well for $199.00 works for me. I have a Sage Z Axis, which is an excellent rod, but this Hardy feels quite similar in performance. By the way, the protective rod sock is the nicest I have ever seen. It looks like something you would get with an $800.00 rod.
