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.
