Kilwell NZ Fibre-X 37kg Rollered DBB Game Rod

Kilwell NZ Fibre-X 37kg Rollered DBB Game Rod - Black detachable ALPS aluminium BENT butt.

Kilwell NZ Fibre-X 37kg Fully Rollered Detachable BENT Butt (DBB) Stand-up Game Rod.

Features:

Kilwell FibreX 37kg Stand-up game fishing rod features a small diameter, lightweight blank, designed and manufactured in New Zealand. The blank is built using Triaxial carbon cloth incorporating Xantu Nano fibre plus nanoparticle resins, giving the rod a dramatic increase in flexural lifting power without increasing weight on the rod.

The Xantu material acts as a barrier against fracturing when the resin and carbon reach breaking point, effectively increasing the strength of the blank and reducing the chance of blank breakage caused by anglers "high sticking" the rod.


This rod is hand-assembled in Rotorua using:

* Tri-axial carbon blank incorporating Xantu.Layer nano-technology

* Black Aftco wind on roller guides

* Black Aftco wind on roller tip

* Black detachable ALPS aluminium BENT butt

* Ethylene Vinyl Acetate EVA foregrips

* Underbound and overbound guides


All Kilwell products now have a Kilwell Limited Lifetime Warranty against faulty materials and workmanship, so we guarantee we won't let you down.


Rod is 1.68 m.


We are proudly made in New Zealand by KILWELL RODCRAFT.

ABOUT XANTU.LAYER CONSTRUCTION

In a world-first, Kilwell has combined nanoparticle resin with Xantu.Layer electrospun nanofibre in a fishing rod blank.

Nanofibres are defined as fibres with diameters less than 1000 nanometers.

Xantu.Layer is a polymer hybrid of continuous nanofibres forming a non-woven web.


This layer bonds with nano resin and carbon fibre to create a rod blank

featuring a dramatic increase in flexural lifting power without increasing weight.


XANTU.LAYER Blank Properties

* Increased flexural strength

* No decrease in flexural stiffness

* Increased interlaminar strength

* Enhances resin toughness

* Impact energy delocalisation (impact resistance)

* Zero increase in laminate weight or thickness

* Continuous polymer-metal electrospun nanofibre layer

* Ultra-fine 100-nanometre fibre diameter

* Ultra-long 200 metre fibre length
