Bloke Fly Rod Blank XGnP 9' 10wt 4-piece FULL KIT with Titanium Guides

  

A full kit including AAAA flor grade grips, reel seat and winding check. A full set of Seaguide Titanium guides, blue thread and Sensei epoxy resin. Supplied in a quality cotton bag. The most exciting phrase to hear in Science, the one that heralds a new discovery is not "Eureka" but Thats funny? 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!

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). For experienced rod builders you will notice I have posted a picture of the butt "walls" to show uniformly they have been rolled.

The picture with the blank under stress is me pushing the blank vertically towards the ceiling with maximum force, hence the very weird "T" shape!!! DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Finished in a deep royal blue with the following specifications. Butt OD: 10.26mm/0.403. Tip OD: 1.67mm/0.065. I can also supply the blank with a full kit of components, the price will depend on what you need so please feel free to. Building a fly rod is not difficult but there are a few tips and tricks I will be happy to share with you if this is your first build. Add a map to your own listings.
