Carbon X™ Design Features
| Creativity and innovation in fishing tackle has always started with an individual angler whose passion for the sport drives them to come up with a better idea for the tackle they use. Over the years development of new materials and manufacturing processes has provided the technical components needed to support new fishing product ideas, but the ideas always seem to come from some angler out pursing their passion for the sport.
When we set out to develop a fishing rod that would raise the bar of performance our first job was to talk to many individual anglers all over North America. We asked them one question. What do you want your fishing rods to do that they don't do now? We talked with weekend anglers, tournament anglers, Guides, Walmart FLW Tour Pros, Forrest Wood Cup anglers, BASS Elite Pros, Bass Club members, walleye fanatics, multi species anglers, and Custom rod builders. We talked with devoted users of rods from great companies like St. Croix and G. Loomis. After all that listening we knew what the anglers here in North America wanted in increased fishing rod performance and set out to develop Carbon X™ rod models that would deliver higher performance and be better fishing tools. During development of Carbon X™ rods, the challenge was to build a rod that was a better fishing tool and delivered the greater fishing performance anglers wanted. This lead us to developed Action Forward Design™ which gives a substantial increase in rod performance. Action Forward Design™ is being introduced on all of the new Carbon X™ rod models. Our rods deliver an impressive increase in fishing performance in two ways. First, with our Action Forward Design™ we put more of the rod to work for the angler by putting more of the blank where you can use it and that is in front of your hand. Then we combined the Action Forward Design™ concept with blanks that specifically delivered the performance promise of the Action Forward Design™ to maximize on the water fishing performance of the rods. Casting or retrieving, Action Forward Design™ gives you the advantage by placing more of the rod length in front of the reel seat. A fishing rod is a leverage tool and the longer it is in front of your hand the more performance it provides. |
The Action Forward Design™ puts 2 to 6 inches of additional rod length, as compared to other rods, in front of the reel where it will fish and work for you. Most rod brand models use 10 to 12 inch rear grips on their 7ft. long casting rods while the Carbon X™ Action Forward Design™ utilizes 8 ¼ inch rear grips on 7ft. casting models. This allows us to have 2 or more inches of the rod in front of the reel seat and at the tip of the rod as compared to other brands. The Carbon X™ 7ft. rod has a 2in. length performance advantage to the competitors' same overall 7ft. length rod. Combined with our high performance modulus blanks the Carbon X™ rod delivers an impressive increase in rod performance.
When you compare our 7ft. casting models with another rod brand that is 7ft. 3in. that has a 12 inch rear grip the performance advantage to the Carbon X™ is incredible. The Carbon X™ 7ft. casting rods put 3 ¾ inches more rod in front of the reel and are 25% lighter than the 7ft. 3in. competitor's model. The Carbon X™ 7ft. casting rod out-performs the competition's 7ft. 3in. rod. Carbon X™ Rods are manufactured in the USA. Carbon X™ blanks are built using the highest grades of graphite produced in the USA. In developing high performance rod models we believe Carbon X™ has a communication advantage when compared to overseas rod factories. We don't mean these factories speak in a foreign language, we mean their products don't always reflect that they understand the communication when a walleye angler stepping off a floatplane in Canada says what action he or she wants in a walleye rod, or a tournament angler pitching soft plastics into flooded timber at Falcon Lake, Texas says what he or she wants in a rod, or an angler working docks at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri says what he or she wants in a rod. At Carbon X™ we understand all that communication, and we not only understand it, we love that kind of talk. Good luck with your Fishing, |
