Norwich ev3 "FLATS HUNTER" Saltwater Fly Rods are unique - Completely re-designed and extensively tested through 2008/9 and now completely upgraded with the very latest intermediate 12k T800/05 carbon fiber mix. ev3 Saltwater Blanks are built with a helical-bias inner carbon fiber core for maximum tubular hoop strength. In addition the latest ev3 rods incorporate intermediate modulus carbon material with a 5% fibre volume orientated at 90 degrees to the uni-directional carbon fibre for even tougher impact resistence.
This new carbon matrix gives the ev3 "FLATS HUNTER" rod tremendous stopping power, allowing you to put maximum pressure on a running fish, without fear of blank collapse.
