Technology:

Nano Sheet:
- Shimano Nano Carbon Is A Technology Which Is Used To Build Rod Blanks Which Are On Average 35% Stronger And 15% Lighter Than A Conventional Rod Blank. The Heart Of A Nano Rod Blank Is Made Of A Nano Carbon Sheet. This Sheet Has A Special Weave Which Allows To Use A Low Amount Of Resin Which Is Spread Into Very Small (Nano) Particles Throughout The Sheet. This Creates The Lightness, Strength And Responsiveness In The Blank.

Dia Flash:
- Diaflash Is A Reinforced Structure That Prevents Twisting Of The Butt Section In Situations Where High-Intensity Is Applied, For Example During Casting And Fighting With Fish. Due To The Effect Of Diaflash It Becomes Possible To Convey The Pulling Power Of The Angler To The Target Fish While Minimizing The Loss Of Energy By Flexing Of The Butt Section.

Hpc (High Pressure Carbon):
- Shimano High Pressure Carbon Is A Process Which Creates Stronger, More Responsive Blanks. Pressure Is Applied To The Blank Surface During Curing (Heating) Which Evenly Distributes The Resin Through The Carbon Fibre Matrix. The Result Is A Much Stronger, More Consistent Performance And Improved Responsive.
