REFINE (DEFINITION): 1. To bring to a fine or a pure state; free from impurities. 2. To become more fine, elegant, or polished
The Refine Z is perfectly suited for those serene days on small waters, where precision is paramount and subtlety is key. Unlike traditional medium action rods that may feel lackluster and uninspiring, the Refine Z boasts a smooth action that borders on the edge of medium to medium-fast, offering unparalleled responsiveness and control. Say goodbye to the feeling of weakness and limpness often associated with medium action rods – the Refine Z defies expectations with its exceptional strength and stability. At the heart of the Refine Z is groundbreaking graphene technology, elevating its performance and achieving unparalleled lightness.This innovative material not only makes the rod incredibly lightweight but also reduces swing weight, ensuring effortless casting and unparalleled sensitivity. We held nothing back in the design, construction, and materials in the Refine Z series. You have never felt medium like this!
GRAPHENE
Graphene was discovered in 2004 by a researcher at the University of Manchester. The discovery won the researcher a Nobel Prize in physics. Graphene is a carbon product only a single molecule thick, arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Graphene is an innovative material because it is amazingly low in mass and stronger than diamond. It is 100X stronger than steel of the equivalent mass. Graphene is revolutionary in the world of fly rods. It allows us to build a blank that is lighter and significantly stronger. This is breakthrough technology.
THE HARDWARE
A revolutionary blank requires top of the line hardware. The Refine Z uses the new Cericoil stripping guides. Cericoil guides are extremely durable and made with lightweight titanium. The remaining guides are single foot REC recoil titanium guides. These guides bend without breaking and also act as tiny shock absorbers to eliminate excess rod vibrations.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Production rods aren't always known for their quality in craftsmanship. Single coat epoxies are fast and cost efficient, but leave the blank with heavy, bubbly wraps that have no place on a top quality rod. The Refine Z is constructed with new top-of-the-line materials and quality-centric techniques that keep wraps light, flat, and beautiful!
