GLX

BASS

Up until we introduced NRX, GLX was the highest performance graphite system we ever used. Its high modulus and high tensile-strength allowed us to use as much as 15% less material than a comparable IMX rod. It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out we’re getting a lot lighter here, because the GLX fibers were even stiffer than IMX, we all enjoyed the sensitivity and the reduction in overall rod weight. The material has a higher modulus then IMX and the rods are noticeably lighter and more sensitive then IMX, GL3, our fiber-blends and now E6X. Our new GLX continues that legacy of extreme performance and light weight!
