RAINSHADOW ROD BLANK
TECHNOLOGY
™
NANO COMPOUND TECHNOLOGY
This proprietary omnidirectional technology increases blank strength up to 30% over traditional resin systems. NCT™ makes for a strong, extremely crisp blank while
shaving off any unnecessary weight .
™
ULTRA-HIGH MODULUS REINFORCEMENT
During the blank design process, we often blend different materials to achieve predetermined performance goals. UHMR™ is only used in our highest performance ETERNITY² and IMMORTAL blank designs and allows our engineers to add stiffness without extra bulk.
™
OPTIMIZED WALL THICKNESS
The Jaguar Design™ team has spent countless months developing the correct composite patterns to optimize the wall thickness of each blank. Rods tuned with OWT™ are individually enhanced for the best possible performance.
™
VERSATILE DURABLE BLEND
The proprietary VDB™ technology found on our RX6/E- GLASS and RX4 graphite blend rod blanks, combines the strength of fi berglass with the light weight and sensitivity of graphite. Blanks using this blend are incredibly strong but still maintain a comfortable weight not found in competing offerings.
™
™
OPTIMIZED RESIN CONTENT
Resin systems are the binding agents used in prepreg. Determining the correct resin content is critical to a quality blank, and we optimize the amount for each model series we offer.
™
HIGH MODULUS REINFORCEMENT
This proprietary reinforcement process is used exclusively in our REVELATION™ and RX7 models. Thanks to HMR™, our engineering team is able to add stiffness while keeping these blanks surprisingly light in hand.
™
DYNAMIC MODULUS POSITIONING
We carefully position material along a rod blank depending on the type of material as well as the modulus rating. This achieves the perfect balance of light weight, strength, and sensitivity.
™
SUPER SLIM FERRULE
Found only in our fl y and conventional multi-piece blanks, SSF™ maintains a true bend pro fi le by eliminating the fl at spot(s) commonly seen at the ferrule. This means you’ll experience enhanced casting performance and dramatically increased strength at the rod connection.
™
HIGH DENSITY SC
Exclusively by Jaguar Design™, HDSC™ is incorporated into a blank to improve strength while trimming excess weight. This precision design concept allows us to greatly reduce the width of a rod blank. The end result is a sensitive, strong, streamlined rod.
™
COMPUTERIZED CURING TEMPERATURE CONTROL
All rod blanks need to be carefully and correctly cured during the manufacturing process. We bake all of our RainShadow blanks in computer-controlled ovens which ensures the resin systems are cured correctly.
™
ADVANCED TAPE TENSION
After a blank pattern has been rolled onto the mandrel, tape is then pressure wrapped around it. To say this is an important part of the blank building process would be an understatement. We tape our blanks using the fi nest devices available to allow for optimal compaction of the pattern to the mandrel.
