In May 2010, Hardy & Greys Ltd. launched a radical new development in fly fishing rod technology that is definitely poised to revolutionise the industry along with the game itself. Perhaps you may just remember that Hardy, a famous fly fishing tackle company inside the UK, was the organization that inserted carbon fibre technologies to fishing rods. Well, it seems they've done it yet again by using a material named SINTRIX™. Intrigued? Actually I was also. Stay with me to determine what I've discovered so far about this cutting edge fly fishing tackle technology.

Fly Fishing Tackle - What's SINTRIX™

SINTRIX™ is a truncated acronym for "silica nano matrix." This is a cutting-edge resin formulation made for carbon fibre rods. The resin fortifies the rod blank in a way that breakage is virtually impossible and deterioration is very unlikely. In development, Hardy tried SINTRIX™ rods on a jig that pretty much bent them in half without breakage. This material is 60% more powerful than traditional carbon fibre despite being around 30% less heavy. Incredible! Though at first confined to Hardy's fly rod collection, the provider plans to introduce SINTRIX™ technology to its carp, sea, and coarse series in addition, which includes the brands Chub and Greys. SINTRIX™ rods are anticipated to be released early on in 2011.

Fly Fishing Tackle - The Problem with Current Carbon Fibre Rod Engineering

Whenever carbon fibre fly rods were initially available, they altered the way we caught fish. Fishermen abandoned other forms of rods and gathered behind carbon fibre rods in mass. Ultimately, however, we discovered that these kinds of rods, even though they include many strengths, are susceptible to damage. Just like carbon rod technology took the place of fibreglass rod technology, I expect that SINTRIX™ rods will make considerable inroads against rods made with carbon fibre. Carbon fibre rods have resin that surrounds the carbon. The resin is there to hold the fibres parallel to one another, which in turn lets the rod flex. But, if a carbon fibre rod is required to bend over a set constraint, the resin will fall short, causing the rod to snap. The reason is the carbon fibre is naturally more powerful than conventional resins.

Fly Fishing Tackle - The Remedy? SINTRIX™ Rods

SINTRIX™ rod technology utilizes a fortified resin matrix that is boosted to provide 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 effect? A rod in which the carbon fibre is far better supported and reinforced. To the fisherman, it indicates that the rod allows for an incredibly even cast. A SINTRIX™ has superior tensile durability that permits it to bend to a higher degree than other rods without having damage. SINTRIX™ rods also resist inadvertent damage better. Designed to support weights from 5 to 250 lbs., these kinds of rods are predicted to bring on sweeping transformation in the manner we fish. I look forward with loads of anticipation to buying my first SINTRIX™ rod, which I know is going to be a great addition to my fly fishing tackle set.
