RX8+
This is our "state of the art" material.
The foundation is a "High Modulus / High Strain Rate" fiber
combined with a carbon fiber scrim. A new space age resin system coupled
with a proprietary carbon fiber reinforcement technique makes this a cutting
edge graphite material. Blanks manufactured with this material are the
lightest, strongest and most sensitive blanks made.

RX4
The foundation of this material is proprietary
graphite / fiberglass matrix combined with a high impact resin system,

yet light enough to fish all day. This proprietary material is used in
certain saltwater and downrigger rods, where durability is of the utmost
concern.
E-Glass
This is the workhorse material for the saltwater
blanks in our Forecast® saltwater line. It offers superb stength and
durability at a reasonable price. There is no better-priced material for
high performance saltwater blanks.
Solid-Glass
Glass fibers are pultruded onto a dowel and
then ground to a specific taper. This results in a virtually unbreakable
rod blank and rock bottom prices.

Clear Gloss = CG
Tough urethane Clear Gloss finish that allows
the natural graphite color to show through. Used by most major rod companies
on various rod series, a popular workhorse color. |

on our RX8+ Bass and fly rod blanks. It works well with just about any combination
of threads, wood or metal reel seat colors. Super hard urethane assures
a long lasting durable finish for years to come. |
