We were so impressed with
the Scierra HM3 5-weight that went through our
office that wedecided to do a full review of this
new series. Accordingly we dragged a bunch of
7 and 8-weight HM3 models off to Mexico in pursuit
of onefish, tarpon and permit.
Scierra's top-of-the line
HM3s were designed by World Casting Champion,
Hywell Morgan, a guy who can throw a fly 265 feet!
HM3s are available in line weights 4 through 8.
All are 4-piece, 9 foot rods priced at $499.99.
They feature ultra-high
modulas blanks outfitted with two dual-foot strippers
with SiC inserts, low-friction/wide-aperture snakes,
and tip-over-butt ferrules with alignment marks.
The hard anodized aluminum
reel seats have dual locking rings and fish profiles
machined out of the barrels, revealing carbon-fiber
inserts underneath. All HM3s come packed in a
sexy-looking, olive-green, carbon-fiber rod tube.
