There is no sport or pastime on this earththat has the variety and complexities offishing.
Outlined in the following pages are ourvery latest iterations of what we know aresome of the best blanks on the markettoday.
These designs have come about throughmuch research and technologyadvancements. We know you will be veryhappy
.
CTS Advanced rod blank technology
CTS prides itself on being at the leading edge of rod design. We are focused on intensive product development and
continuous improvement in our design and manufacturing processes.
Carbon Helix Core
Superior hoop strength
Improved response
A single carbon spiral is at the core of the blank. This type of structure is commonly regarded as the most effective way of
maintaining cross section stability during bending.
Our carbon helix core will minimize cross sectional deformation during loading, improving power and response.
In a flexing situation, the blank is undergoing pressures that can cause it to change from a round shape to a slightly oval
shape. Even a small 2% reduction in section height caused by these pressures will reduce the stiffness of the rod by around
10%. The higher the loading, the softer the blank will become, reducing its ability to fight fish.
All CTS carbon helix core blanks boast 100% non woven fiber.
A non woven fiber can achieve 100%
A non woven fiber can achieve 100% of its tensile and compressive loading, unlike woven based scrims which exhibit
large amounts of fiber crimping resulting in greatly reduced fiber loading potential.
Modulus Replacement Technology (MRT)
This new type of construction enables us to place totally different modulus materials at each part of the blank.
Unlike traditional multi modulus systems which lay up materials of differing modulus materials together, our new Modulus
Replacement Technology is all together different, taking blank manufacture to a new level.
Variable fit length
Reduced section-to-section flat spots
Reduced swing weight
Smooth load transfer
The join lengths between each section within our multi piece blanks are varied according to the load that they are
designed to carry. This ensures flat spots and swing weights are minimized.
100% Carbon Construction
Super light weight construction and Superior strength.

100% Carbon Construction
Super light weight construction and Superior strength.
Through the use of the CTS carbon helix core, blanks are able to boast a true 100% carbon construction. This ensures response and agility are optimized through utilizing the
lightweight and high strength characteristics that only carbon can give.
Computer Aided Engineering CAE
Computer Aided Engineering has enabled CTS to design precise blank ranges with perfectly progressive actions through the entire range.
Multi carbon construction
CTS has sourced the highest quality fabrics from USA, Japan and Korea. Up to five different types of carbon are used in each blank. Each type is placed at various parts of the
blank to optimize strength and weight.
CTS's ultra high modulus fiber boasts the highest tensile and compressive strength of any fiber in its class.
Internal High Strength ferrule
A high strength ferrule is placed at each join, to provide superior crush and split resistance.
There is no need for the rod builder to place a ferrule wrap at this point for reinforcement.
Target Zero Fibre Alignment
Fiber alignment along the length of any blank is critical. Even the smallest deviation in fiber alignment from the axis of load will greatly reduce the strength of the blank.
All CTS blanks are designed and produced to ensure all fiber is aligned as near perfect as can be with the load.
Two pack Marine Grade Paint system
All CTS blanks are coated with a marine grade two pack paint system for superior colour and toughness.
Super Low Resin Systems
New for '09 is the introduction of our bespoke super low resin systems. Utilising materials with resin contents up to 30% less than standard materials, CTS's latest blank line ups
are lighter, stronger and narrower. Increasing bending limits, response and improved casting.
Listed weights are for unpainted blank. Butt diameter does not include ferrule reinforcement.All prices ex tax.

Over the past years a select group of anglers including Bob Meiser and Mike Kinney, along with many double handed anglers worldwide, have added feed back towards the
development of the present CTS Affinity series of two handed rods. This has resulted in a superb series of highly efficient casting and fishing tools.
The Affinity series has become not only accepted, but has become well respected within the entire community of double handed anglers fishing their favourite rivers world
wide.

Over the past years a select group of anglers including Bob Meiser and Mike Kinney, along with many double handed anglers worldwide, have added feed back towards the
development of the present CTS Affinity series of two handed rods. This has resulted in a superb series of highly efficient casting and fishing tools.
The Affinity series has become not only accepted, but has become well respected within the entire community of double handed anglers fishing their favourite rivers world
wide.
The Affinity Series blanks represents the forefront of blank design - utilizing all the features of the CTS blank technology program. Boasting CTS's 'VeroCore', variable weight
helical core. Born from the desire to create lighter more efficiently engineered blanks, this new helical technology starts with a super light weight helical reinforcement at the
tip and progresses to a more powerful helical that delivers the cross sectional stiffness renowned in the Affinity heritage.
Listed weights are for unpainted blank. Butt diameter does not include ferrule reinforcement.All prices ex tax.

The Affinity SK DH rods are ideal tools for
managing the sustained anchor of Skagit shooting
heads with extreme sink tips in tow.
They also manage all short to long belly floating
classic Spey tapers with ease, and will do
especially well with the challenging line
management of full sink classic Spey tapers.
When compared to the Affinity Plus DH rods:
The Affinity SK DH rods will have slightly less flex
(stiffer) in the top 2/3 and have more flex (softer)
in the bottom 1/3.
This done to more easily manage anchor release
of Skagit shooting heads with heavily grained tips
and heavy flies in tow. And to more easily manage
dangle release of full sink classic Spey lines with
ease.
With Skagit shooting heads:The Affinity SK DH
tapers comes to the fore to manage the sustained
anchor of extreme sink tips and heavily weighted
flies with an absolute minimal amount of
expended energy on the part of the caster.
Line management of these lines (as with all
shooting heads) is best done with a very economic
short stroke, and underhand dominant.
With classic Spey tapers: The Affinity SK DH rods
are very authoritive in the delivery of mid to long
belly Classic Spey tapers, and will do especially
well with full sink Spey tapers and heavy flies.
Mid to long belly Spey tapers will inherently ask
for a wider stroke. This best done with an even
high hand / low hand power push, and a slight
underhand power at the end of the stroke

The Elite Series of inshore Bait and Spin blanks is at the forefront in design technology.
The Elite Series boasts CTS's 57mis MRT Technology. Born from the desire to create lighter more efficiently engineered blanks, this new layup process allows us to entirely
change the material used in different areas of a 1pc blank.
Also incorporated is our VeroCore , variable weight helical core. This helical technology starts with a super light weight helical reinforcement at the tip and progresses to a
more powerful helical that delivers the cross sectional stiffness that enhances blank response and feedback.
The unique triple taper system in the Elite series starts at the mandrel design and is then finished off at our layup process where no fewer that three different material types
complete the blank. This taper system provide sensitive tips, beautiful transitioning mid areas and super powerful butts.
New for '09 is the introduction of our bespoke super low resin systems. Utilising materials with resin contents up to 30% less than standard materials, CTS's latest blank line
ups are lighter, stronger and narrower. Increasing bending limits, response and improved casting.
Simply put, the Elite series is packed full of technology to provide blanks unmatched for power weight and precision.
