SVF NANOPLUS Through the use of nano resin technology, SVF Nanoplus blanks combine precise resin control and unidirectional graphite fiber to produce a blank that has maximum graphite density. This ultimately creates a blank that is extremely lightweight, robust, powerful, and sensitive, all the qualities you want in any fishing rod. X45 BIAS Designed to prevent blank twist and enhance power, X45 utilizes a Bias Wrap Construction with a 45-degree left/right carbon weave within the blank. This advanced design significantly boosts rod strength and durability by maintaining the blank&';s round form and eliminating unwanted flex. As a result, X45 technology delivers a lighter, stronger, more powerful, and highly sensitive rod.
