What kind of material are fishing rods usually made of?

Fishing rods are divided into three series according to the material: bamboo and wood, fiberglass (fiberglass material) fishing rods, and carbon fishing rods. Among them, carbon fishing rods are divided into low carbon fishing rods, high carbon fishing rods and ultra-high carbon fishing rods according to the different amounts of carbon, while a British company launched a high carbon fishing rods with the addition of nano-boron fibers, and the industry is accustomed to the latter separate and into a category.

1, bamboo and wood fishing rods:

General bamboo and wood rods with excellent selection of materials, craftsmanship, low prices, ease of use and other advantages, the vast majority of the old anglers like to use this rod. Generally made of bamboo, bamboo fishing rod varieties of specifications, for the production of plug-type fishing rod of bamboo also has nearly a hundred kinds. The selection of bamboo made of fishing rod, the growth period of at least two years old bamboo. Bamboo should be straight and round, uniform thickness, bamboo wall is thicker, no sinks, with elasticity. China has more than 250 kinds of bamboo, bamboo body slender and elasticity of the light bamboo, multi-section of the purple bamboo and spot service, slender round straight wall thick Ruo bamboo and four seasons of bamboo are good materials for making fishing rods. The production of the same set of fishing rod bamboo color must be consistent, several bamboo arrangement, the best bamboo section of the same Qi, arranged from top to bottom, thick and thin spacing is equal, smoked fire moderate, can not be aging, the socket wrapped tightly, painted uniformly and should be longer than the depth of insertion of the person to prevent angling when the force of the break, the upper and lower sections with the complete, tight no gap, the socket can not be too thin, no cracks, the whole rod installed, the whole should be straight, the force of bending into an arc shape, not the force of bending into a The whole rod is installed, the whole should be straight, when the force is bent into a round arc, when not under force should be restored to its original shape, light and heavy moderately, the root of the rod should appear to have elasticity and toughness when shaking the hand, and the external color is harmonious and coordinated. This rod is worthy of the originator of the modern brand rods.

2, fiberglass fishing rod:

Also known as fiberglass rod, fiberglass resin rod. It is the use of fiberglass satin cloth, bath dipped in epoxy resin, aldehyde resin, high temperature curing and forming (hollow tube or solid body), with good toughness and elasticity, is the production of fishing rods to modern synthetic materials, factory production of the first generation of products. Fiberglass fishing rods have good insulation. Fishing rods are formed without painting before the rod body color yellow, brown. At present, the domestic and some countries and regions in the production of fishing rods, some in the bath dip resin solution to add carbon black powder, on the one hand, with the carbon fiber cloth (black) mixing and shaping, to get the same color; on the other hand, there are some manufacturers to dye the black fiberglass cloth pretending to be carbon fiber or carbon fishing rods. Fiberglass fishing rods are characterized by high strength, but also high weight, long time use, or use in high-intensity tournaments, it will be very strenuous. This also spawned a material revolution in the fishing rod industry, a new material commonly used in other fields - carbon fiber in the production of fishing rods have been applied.

3, carbon fiber fishing rod:

Also known as carbon rods, is the use of high-tech carbon dimensional material manufactured. With conductivity (Ωcm - 1.5 × 10-3) and very good tensile strength (such as 12,000 filaments number of units, its tensile strength of kg/mm2 - 400). The vast majority of carbon fiber fishing rods are made of non-woven carbon fiber longitudinal cloth tube, cured by resin immersion and manufacturing. Used in the production of fishing rods in terms of carbon fiber content, how much, directly determine the value of the rod and taste. General carbon content of 30%, 90% or so. Fishing rod made of carbon fiber has a light, solid, high tensile strength, but in use should pay special attention to anti-electricity. As carbon fiber rod has good electrical conductivity, thunderstorms and low-altitude naked wires can never be used, fishing line rolled on the wire can not be picked with the rod. There have been several reports of injuries and deaths caused by improper use of carbon fiber rods, so please pay attention to all anglers.

4, nano-boron fiber rod:

In 2009, the domestic market has appeared a "nano-boron fiber" material rods, the so-called nano-boron fiber rods, the main material is still carbon fiber material, but in the material to add 10-20% of the nano-boron fiber. The precursor of boron nanofiber is a new material called boron fiber, which has the characteristics of high strength, high elasticity and high temperature resistance. The performance of boron fiber is better than the commonly used glass fiber and carbon fiber, under the same circumstances, its strength is equivalent to 6-7 times of steel wire, its elasticity touch is 2-3 times of steel, while the density is only 1/4 of steel, mainly used in aerospace and military industry and other sectors. Nanoboron fiber is a reinforcing agent that is treated with nanotechnology on the basis of boron fiber to make its material lighter and stronger. Its quality is only 1/3 of carbon fiber, but the strength is three times of carbon fiber. This advanced new material after the high-pressure rolling technology composite fusion on the carbon fiber, greatly reducing the weight of the fishing rod, making the rod lighter, while improving the strength and flexibility of the rod. Among the international fishing tackle manufacturers, the patented production technology of nano-boron fiber fishing rods is exclusively held by a company called Yingda International Fishing Tackle.

5, titanium alloy fishing rod:

Also known as titanium fishing rod, is made of high-tech aerospace materials titanium alloy tube. Its characteristics are: made of titanium and titanium alloy fishing rod before and after the end of the 35mm length with a 1. 5 degree taper of the contraction of the contraction and expansion of the contraction section, the fishing rod between the sections are used to connect the local taper, the rear end of the installation of plastic handle, the handle of the end of the mouth with a threaded connection cover. Both the function of fishing rod, but also has a corrosion-resistant, not aging, high strength, good elasticity, light weight, reasonable structure and other characteristics. In terms of design, the use of special physical and chemical processes, made of various patterns, the formation of titanium fishing rod unique charm along with your own cultural heritage, practical, aesthetic and artistic value in one.
