Our carbon helix core will minimize cross sectional deformation during loading, improving power and response.
In a flexing situation, the fly rod blank is undergoing pressures that can cause it to change from a round shape to a slightly oval shape.
Even a small 2% reduction in section height caused by these pressures will reduce the stiffness of the fly rod by around 10%.
The higher the loading, the softer the blank will become, reducing its ability to fight fish.
All CTS carbon helix core blanks boast 100% non woven fiber.
A non woven fiber can achieve 100% of its tensile and compressive loading, unlike woven based scrims which exhibit large amounts of fiber crimping resulting in greatly reduced fiber loading potential.
Through the use of the CTS carbon helix core, our fly rods are able to boast a true 100% carbon construction. This ensures response and agility are optimized through utilizing the lightweight and high strength characteristics that only carbon can give.
Our partner CTS, works closely with its boutique carbon suppliers to obtain the optimum fiber types and resin systems to ensure all CTS blanks are at the leading edge in terms of material development.
Up to five different types of carbon are used in each blank. Each type is placed at various parts of the blank to optimize strength and weight.
A high strength ferrule is placed at each join, to provide superior crush and split resistance.

Taupo professional fly fishing guide Peter Wilton says the fly rods are exceptionally finished and consistent performers, and that he is impressed with their “sensitivity and ease in producing tight, accurate casts”.
Manawatu professional fly fishing guide David Webb says that the fly rods have plenty of power, but still maintain finesse; “When playing fish they leave the angler feeling in control at all times, yet are soft enough to handle playing fish on light leaders”.
