Trav. Thanks,

anything on the web?
or are they a secret
i see a few companys using more carbon now.
are these different form synit?

how about the EXtrerme angler guys rods?

Paul they are not secret just new. I'm sure the web stuff will be up soon. Their materials they are keeping secret. They are much different than Synit, as the material is lighter and much stronger. The tapers feel a bit wierd to me as they are so powerful it feels so soft in my hands but when you bend it the tip kinda folds over and then there is more power than needed yet still bending. Its different for sure.
I saw the rod videos you posted before and they are using a straight forward carbon, nothing new. Its the uni-directional stuff that is interesting to me. Its how they are keeping the hoop strength that stumps me.

How do you know they are stronger if you haven't used the Synits yet? Curious

the uni direction has been around for a while. alot of good debates on weather its cost effictive.
the one rod looked really "heavy"
the other looked like it was a nice action for what we do..

Haven't used the Synits yet, and they are bad ass rods. But I also know that there is not a popping rod out there that is picking up 140kgs that I know of. So thats how I think they are stronger. I have a hard time believing that these rods are doing it. There are rods that i could imagine doing it but nothing that is as thin as these. I wonder if they even have the info right!

Paul do you know if they are spiraling the material to give it its hoop strength. I am also looking at what these companies are using as different carbons, cause over the years I always thought carbon was carbon
