Airflo Airtec Nano Series Fly Rod
When developing fly rods, technology usually presents itself in small incremental improvements over the course of many years in development. Not since the advent of carbon fibre have we seen such a fundamental improvement in technology, Airtec Nano helps you take full advantage of this at an incredible price. Airtec Nano combines state of the art blank technology with the highest quality fittings to produce one of the hottest looking rods on the market.
Not just a pretty rod, you’ll find it has a power to weight ratio that will improve your efficiency out on the water. It will also withstand those little knocks when you don’t get it quite right.
THE BIGGEST DEVELOPMENT SINCE CARBON ITSELF
Carbon fibres are just that, long thin lightweight strands of carbon that need to be converted into a cloth in order to turn them into a fishing rod.
When making fly rods, each long strand of carbon fibre needs to be held together with a reinforced resin system that provide strength and impact resistance.
This carbon cloth is then wrapped around a mandrel to form the blank and subsequently baked at high temperature, melting the resin to create a full strength fishing rod.
What is Carbon Nano Tube Technology?
Applying Carbon Nano Tube, or CNT technology creates a stronger resin distribution system, this helps eliminate any weakness in the blank to create rods with significantly increased strength and improved impact resistance, without adding any significant weight to the blank.
The resulting rods are light, smooth and ultra strong - a 50% increase in flexural strength and a 25% increase to impact resistance - without any effect on the superb casting performance you come to expect from all Airflo fly rods
