In May 2010, Hardy & Greys Ltd. introduced a radical fresh enhancement in fly fishing rod technology that is ready to revolutionise the industry and the game itself. Perhaps you may consider that Hardy, a well known fly fishing tackle company in the UK, was the corporation that brought in carbon fibre technology to fishing rods. All right, it seems they have accomplished it again by using a product referred to as SINTRIX™. Curious? In fact so was I. Continue reading to understand what I have discovered up to now concerning this cutting edge fly fishing tackle technology.

Fly Fishing Tackle - What is SINTRIX™

SINTRIX™ is a truncated acronym for "silica nano matrix." It's a cutting-edge resin formulation made for carbon fibre rods. The resin strengthens the rod blank in such a manner that the chance of splitting is almost impossible and damage is extremely unlikely. In the building phase, Hardy tried SINTRIX™ rods on a jig that essentially bent them into two pieces without breaking. This product is 60% more powerful than standard carbon fibre while being approximately 30% less heavy. Incredible! Though initially restricted to Hardy's fly rod line, the company plans to bring in SINTRIX™ technology to its carp, sea, and coarse lines in addition, including the brands Chub and Greys. SINTRIX™ rods are predicted to be marketed beginning in 2011.

Fly Fishing Tackle - The Challenges with Existing Carbon Fibre Rod Science

Whenever carbon fibre fly rods were originally offered, they re-structured the approach to how we caught fish. Fishermen abandoned other kinds of rods and flocked to carbon fibre rods in mass. After a while, though, we discovered that these types of rods, despite the fact that they include a lot of strengths, are susceptible to breakage. In the same way carbon rod technology replaced fibreglass rod technology, I imagine that SINTRIX™ rods could make sizeable inroads in opposition to rods made with carbon fibre. Carbon fibre rods contain resin that encompasses the carbon. The resin is there to keep the fibres parallel to each other, which subsequently enables the rod flex. But, if a carbon fibre rod is made to bend over a particular point, the resin will fail, causing the rod to snap. The reason is the carbon fibre is naturally more powerful than traditional resins.

Fly Fishing Tackle - The Fix? SINTRIX™ Rods

SINTRIX™ rod technology employs a fortified resin matrix that's elevated to deliver superior aid to the carbon fibres. Hardy & Greys Ltd. have designed a distinctive form of silica nano sphere and blended it into the resin of SINTRIX™ rods. The consequence? A rod in which the carbon fibre is better supported and strengthened. To the fisherman, it indicates that the rod allows a remarkably even throw. A SINTRIX™ has superior tensile durability that lets it bend to a more significant degree than other rods without having damage. SINTRIX™ rods also withstand inadvertent ruin better. Created to support weights from 5 to 250 lbs., these types of rods are predicted to cause sweeping transformation in the way we fish. I look forward excitedly to buying my first SINTRIX™ rod, which I know will probably be a terrific addition to my fly fishing tackle set.
