arpie Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi all Check this out - the making of a fly rod ...... from rolling the rod with graphite sheets, thru to binding on the runners etc Very interesting! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke1 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 thats pretty cool, the only thing i dont like about this, they make it look so simple, but its probally really complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Now we know why the topline models are soooo expensive!!! Very labour intensive! Yeah - they do make it look easy, Luke. ...I wonder if the same care and precision is put into the modern day mass produced factory rods..... I guess instead of humans doing the rolling & binding, they have machines, hence we are able to buy 2 or 3 now, instead of just the one!

The Iceman Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Interesting but very simple technology The carbon fiber is resin preimpregnated uni directional tape Im guessing there are far more complicated rods out there using a combination of different materials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
