From NASA to Fishing Rods
The Space-Age Stuff That Makes Rigged and Ready® Fishing Rods
NASA IMAGE PROVIDED FROM https://www.nasa.gov
We've been using Zylon, one of the most advanced performance fibers in the world, in our Rigged and Ready® fishing rods for almost ten years.
Researchers have studied Zylon and its applications for aerospace missions which include strength and weight reduction and reliability testing in extreme environmental conditions. Our fishing equipment development follows the same engineering principles which we use to create our products.
Your fishing rod needs to work perfectly in every situation, whether you're on the road, having a weekend trip, fishing from the coast, or exploring isolated rivers.
What Is Zylon and Why Is It Important for Fishing Rods?
ZYLON IS 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN KEVLAR
Zylon exists as a lightweight yet powerful fiber which delivers exceptional performance. The material possesses qualities which make it ideal for constructing top-tier fishing rods.
- More strong than Kevlar
- Very light so it's easy to cast
- High stiffness for better sensitivity and bite detection
- Can handle heat and stress when under load
The rod provides anglers with the appropriate balance between strength and sensitivity and durability because it meets their needs for catching both small and large fish.
Advanced SRF Fishing Rod Blanks: A Unique Mix
ZYLON IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF RIGGED AND READY SMUGGLER AND X SERIES RODS
We mix Zylon with carbon, graphite, and hi-glass in our SRF (Structured Reinforced Fiber) rod blanks at Rigged and Ready®.
This innovative multi-layer design is made for:
- Convenience for travel
- Better performance when fishing with lures
- Able to handle bigger catches with strength
- Small size that doesn't limit functionality
The end product is a travel rod that works like a regular one-piece rod but is compact enough to fit in your bag.
Spin & General Fishing with the Smuggler Series™
THE SMUGGLER FISHING ROD AND REEL COMBINATION IS DESIGNED TO GO ANYWHERE AND FISH EVERYWHERE
The Smuggler Series™ intended for people who want a small, reliable rod for spin and general fishing.
Best for:
- Fishing with a spin rod in rivers, lakes, and along the shore
- A lot of different places to fish
- For both travel and everyday use
These rods come apart into short pieces, which makes them easy to carry along and some of the best fishing rods on the market. Blanks with Zylon keep their strength and flexibility, which makes sure that they work the same way under all settings.
X Series™: Fishing with spin, fly, and more
THE X SERIES IS MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND SUPER COMPACT WITH RODS THAT CAN SPIN AND FLY FISH FROM THE SAME ROD
The X Series™ is made for fishermen who want the most flexibility without giving up anything.
Best for:
- Fishing with a spin
- Fishing with flies
- Setups that can do more than one thing when traveling light
The X Series™ has an amazing strength-to-weight ratio because Zylon is built into the blank. This makes the rod sensitive and versatile for all types of fishing.
THE SWITCH HANDLE’S 3 SECTIONS SCREW TOGETHER TO OFFER PERFECT FISHING BALANCE. IT ALSO CAN FLIP FROM SPIN TO FLY FISHING ON THE SAME ROD
Why Zylon is Important for Modern Fishing Gear
ZYLON IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL ELEMENTS IN THE SRF ROD BLANKS, WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH UNIQUE PARABOLIC JOINTS PRODUCES THE PERFECT FISHING ROD BEND
You have to choose between mobility and performance with a lot of fishing rods.
That trade-off goes away with Zylon.
You receive:
- A light rod for comfort all day long
- Strength to deal with big fish
- A small design that is great for travel
- More sensitive to enhanced strike detection
It's a big reason why Rigged and Ready® rods are so popular in the fishing gear industry today.
