Blank Specifications down the page... Neritica Blank Construction: Multi Directional Carbon Core The objective is to create the perfect rod, powerful, light, sensitive and functional. In an effort to reduce weight and increase sensitivity of rods, most manufacturers use prepreg carbon cloth with high modulus carbon and low resin content. Unfortunately, a higher modulus carbon also results in a loss in strength and a blank that is more brittle and prone to breakages. By changing the direction of each layer of carbon prepreg, the strength of the carbon is positioned to handle forces from different directions, without the need to add weight. The MDCC virtually eliminates the blank twist during loading. This improves power and control when casting or fighting a fish. The other benefit is that sensitivity is maintained yet the recovery time is drastically improved, meaning the blank very quickly transmits any vibrations but then recovers back into place promptly resulting in a crisp blank that telegraphs everything that is happening at the other end. 100% Japanese Toray Carbon Construction Neritica blanks are made from 100% uni-directional carbon fibre. This is combined with a Multi Directional Carbon Core construction to obtain superior hoop strength resulting in light and strong blanks. Using the Multi Directional Carbon Core, our blanks are 100% carbon construction therefore, 100% carbon blanks result in a light blank that is both sensitive and responsive. Variable Modulus Design (VMD) Our blank designs are focused on the desired action, as well as power, sensitivity and recovery. As the modulus of the carbon increases, the sensitivity and stiffness increases. Our blanks are constructed with up to four different types of carbon in each blank. Each carbon type is placed at different segments of the blank to optimise recovery, strength and sensitivity. Low resin pre preg Carbon rod blanks are made with carbon fibre reinforced by a polymer resin. The resin can account for a significant proportion of the weight of a blank. To reduce weight and maximise the sensitivity of a blank, the design team have used precision controlled production process to incorporate low resin prepreg into the blanks. The use of low rein prepregs increase manufacturing time which results in a lighter, crisper blank. Quality control: The manufacturing facility is a strong advocate of quality and gained the ISO9000 QC system certification to deliver consistency in product quality, focus on the customer satisfaction and adopt continuous improvement. In short, by the time you receive this product you can be assured that your blank has passed our quality inspections covering blank strength and integrity, manufacturing processes, finish and straightness.
