The designers brief was simple: create a fly rod range that would both cast further & more accurately. Not much to ask! With all rods torque control & power conversion are the keys to distance & accuracy. The New Era SLR’s have been designed around a foundation of Bias Carbon technology. The two directions of the high grade carbon sheet have each been manipulated into 45° effectively transmitting the energy & compression evenly around the blank but resisting twist during loading. This application of our own Bias material effectively ‘doubles’ the control level of blank twist & buckling. Combined with a responsive & crisp recovery in the front end each New Era delivers notably more precise line control, directional change & enhanced energy conversion: accuracy & distance all in one. The V-Joint system also offers a hidden benefit. The innovative over-cap system allows the rod to internally maintain a Constant Taper Profile. Unlike normal over cap joints the New Era does not increase in diameter at each female joint & then reduce quickly. It is shaped even & constant. This results in a purer power transfer. Each rod was subjected to exhaustive testing & fine tuning by Hywel Morgan ensuring that each one not only delivers the intended line rating but has the ability to comfortably handle a rating range either side of that indicated. Titanium Si C guides combined with single leg snakes ensure slick line travel & to round the challenge off we achieved all this in a 4 section assembly.
