This is used in our light weight crisp action steadfast bass series. These fishing rod blanks come as a standard sanded finish with exposed graphite. HM is used to give lots of power in a small and lightweight blank. We found the perfect HM material that gives sensitivity without the breakage due to our HX2 resin system.

In the end our interpretation is it's all the same just another marketing game. Build your next USA made fishing rods on Thrasher!

 This is where it all gets tricky! So we decided to go after the breaking point for fishing rod blanks . When you take a blank to failure you get to see the action under each pound until it breaks. This ultimately will give you a true "line rating range" Somewhere between the when you start to see the action of the rod and before it breaks. We now put a safe line rating that pushes the blank to it's potential without coming close to it's breaking point. This is why you should build usa made fishing rods 

 Like nature itself each design is different using different types of material, mandrels and amount of material. We can design 2 different fishing rod blanks with different material, mandrels and amount of material and give you the same action and weight but diameter might be different. We tend to focus more on the process then design........you give us all the feedback and ultimately are the final designer. At Thrasher we are fortunate to be associated with Brad Loomis one of the best process engineers in the industry. Build USA made fishing rods!
