When man and tool become one

The rod is the extended arm of the angler. Not only a stick with a line to
it, but a precision instrument most developed. It is the link which lets a
perfect interaction of the angler with its equipment become reality.

Rods made of best caRbon fibRe

shiRasu im-12 PRo staff seRies
The Shirasu IM-12 is the second rod series that we have developed to-
gether with the Pro Staff Team. The result is excellent predator rods that
are exactly what artificial bait fans wish for: taut actions, extremely slen-
der featherweight blanks and perfect styling.

diabolo X Rods
Unbelievable, but true: this is already the 10th edition of our already leg-
endary Diabolo rod series. The first generation is almost 20 years back!
Such continuity shows how popular these rods are. Not without reason,
this series offers a huge selection for fishing for eels to zander and that at
affordable prices. With every new series, the rods have been further op-
timized and brought up to date with the latest rod technology.
For the anniversary Diabolo X we have come up with something very
special: Each rod is equipped with a layer of KWX carbon, which is usual-
ly used only for far more expensive rods.

adRenalin c@t Rods
In close cooperation with our recently founded Adrenalin C@T team we
have developed this fantastic rod series. High-performance rods just as
the ambitious catfish anglers want: slim, light blanks but with huge
power reserves.

adRenalin sea Rods
Since the rods of the predecessor series had all lengths below 2 metres,
we have gone back to the classic lengths in the latest Adrenaline series.
The blanks are as good as unpolished and completely wrapped in carbon
tape. With combination the blanks are about 20% stronger than compa-
rable rods. All the components are of high quality: reel seats and the
Alconite guides are from FUJI.

masteRPiece nano - with caRbon nano tubes
Our Masterpiece generation – developed by the champions Michael
Zammataro and team colleague Julian Feuerlein. The secret of these
sensational rods is carbon Nano-tubes (CNT). These microscopically
small tubular carbon formations lend the blanks fantastic actions,
enormous strength, and make them as light as a feather. Besides, the
blanks are unpolished making them even more loadable. All rods are
equipped with high-quality FUJI reel seats.

edition im-12 71° noRth
Every single blank is adapted to the latest state in rod technology!
Thanks to latest High-Modulus carbon materials the rods are distinctly
lighter and slimmer than the predecessor models. The unpolished blanks
are extremely durable and strong. All models are equipped with high-
quality FUJI reel seats. The greatest part is the metallic strands woven
into the carbon and creating a breath-taking look.
All travel rods are tripartite and, at with a transport length of 75cm, they
fit into any conventional case!
