Bloke XGNP 9' Saltwater Fly Rod Blank with cloth bag.
We have been on a massive journey to launch these blanks and after rigorous attempts to infuse graphene nano platelets (in the form of Graphene Oxide) into the prepreg of a base 63 million modulus Toray carbon fibre, finally cracked it! As in any new project it can be the simplest things that, through experimentation, offer solutions....Like resin temperature, viscosity and messing about with vacuum chambers!
The result? An increase in hoop strength by 28%! These are probably the strongest blanks in the world. Even though we were working with a higher modulus carbon than the XL50 range the actions are almost identical so even though we wanted a powerful super fast action these blanks are light, responsive and parabolic (so not poker stiff).
Finished in a deep royal blue

For me, these are the rods I'm expecting to see me out.
I now have #6, #9, #10 in 9' & #8 in 9'6" for reservoir trout, saltwater and pike. I love all of them; they're all far better rods than I am a caster, with more power than I can use but still not too stiff (though my absolute favourite is the #6).
Top quality AND a UK company thats owned and run by a british fisherman (not a multinational hedge-fund) who is happy to talk to his customers. I can't fault it.
Thanks Alan.
