XLS Fly Rod Features & Specs

 

XLS Fly Rod

  • Winner of best product at EFFTEX 2004

  • Computer modeled taper design to optimize energy transfer at any casting length

  • Complex multi taper increases blank efficiency whilst optimizing sensitivity and recovery rates

  • Proprietary 66msi pre-preg, 100% Graphite

The 66 msi is the important number here as what it tells you basically is the weight to strength ratio of the graphite. The higher the number the quicker the recovery time of the rod (so the action is crisper) and it will cast with more precision and less effort. Compare that with CD previous top rod the GHR which was 57 msi and you can see it's a clear improvement.

  • Graphite helical core for optimal hoop strength

Describes the construction of the rod blank

  • Titanium coated maple burl reel seat

  • Silicon stripper guides

  • Titanium coated single foot snake guides

These high grade fittings will ensure your rod will last indefinitely, if you can wear them out I will be impressed....and rather envious

  • Each Fly Rod comes with a cotton rod bag and cordura rod tube

  • 5 year Unconditional Warranty.

  • A spare tip section so if yo have a breakage on the river you'll be able to keep fishing.
