LEADERS IN Innovation AND TECHNOLOGY
Where does the line meet between Maximum strength and Ultimate lightness? And what materials provide the best strength to weight ratio?
That is the question we aimed to solve when we developed our Triple Layer Carbon blank technology.
Creating a blank with too much resin can result in a strong, unwieldy and heavy rod. Too little resin and it could be too brittle and unable to cope with the stress of large fish.
We found that precise point where the two meet for the ultimate blank.
The blank we created has three layers, the bottom and top layer are angled in opposition to each other. The middle layer is laid vertically. We experimented with the angles in a new carbon cloth technology until we settled on the perfect combination, maximising resilience, flexibility and striking force.
By opposing layers of cloth at angles, we have created a blank that works along its entire length. We have reduced twisting and have enabled the blank to transfer energy and power immediately down the line with little to no loss of force. Less fatigue for you and a shorter fight time for the fish.
To add strength and combine the layers all blanks need resin. We have experimented with different blank purposes and have developed a resin recipe for each individual range, there is no one resin fits all for us.
Our technology enables us to machine roll our blank to squeeze out the right amount of resin depending on the blank’s use. It leaves us with a precise blank with absolutely no internal blemishes that can cause breakage. And the perfect weight, no matter the rod.
Finally, all our blanks are hot press baked. This is a pressurised process that heats all the layers to bind them as one. It hardens the resin and creates a single strong, light blank.
Power, lightness and a quick reacting force are hallmarks of our Triple Layer Carbon blanks.

Coating Technologies
The coating technologies were designed to further strengthen the power end of the rod by reducing torsion. That effect, which results in twisting and the loss of power over the length of the rod, is much reduced by the nanoparticles forming the coating material. Each has been designed specifically for a specific range to give the rod a crisp and strong feel in the hand of the user.
The coating is a material that doesn’t damage the blank, but, combines with it to work as a single unit to deliver a crisp feeling blank that transfers power and delivers an increase of up to 20% in reacting force.
Our coating technologies come in
Biaxial: Twin layers of additional ultra-thin carbon wrap run around the butt end of the blank forming an X, adding strength and rigidity.
Cross Ribbed: The cross ribbing is a no nonsense finish on the cruisers and ledge ranges. It promotes power and feel in one.
Dual Hyper Coil: The Dual Hyper Coil technology is used on our X-Tracta series. It is a wide carbon ‘X’ coating encasing the blank adding strength and reducing twist. It promotes more power through the blank.
Hex-axial: Exclusively used on the Egi rods due to its extremely light weight, the hex-axial coating wraps the multi-tapered blank delivering an ultra-light, strong rod.
Micro-fuse: This coating is used on several models due to its ability to strengthen the butt, or power end of the rod, offering less swing time and faster hook-ups and reaction time.
Overwrap: This is used on our offshore rods to deliver strength and reduce twist when chasing big fish.
Quad axial: This coating delivers a matt finishing without compromising rod strength. It also delivers a better reacting force, crucial for lure fishing.
Six Axis: The most advanced coating we use featuring six ways graphite enforcing for the butt end of the Reaction and Refraction ranges. Crucial for lure casting where quick force needs to be applied.
