So as many of you know I'm always working in the factory when I'm home to dial in new and exciting products and in light of that I've come up with a new
"Race" rod configuration and they are going to be great......Posted Image These are a bit heavier than the normal "Race" rod but even stronger with even more reflex
than the old ones, so these things really pop back to straight really, really, fast..... Yes they are between 2 and 3 grams heavier than the standard "Race"
rods but they are stronger and faster, once again noooooooo they are not for everyone, yesssss they do make a difference.......Posted Image So before we get all
bent out of shape I'll tell you why we did this, some of us no name mentioned (Rich) really like to fly the "Race" rods under water and they were breaking
some rods, so I, yes heavy handed Ben was breaking some "Race" rods too and I wanted something tougher, hence the second generation "Race" rods....Posted Image
What I did not want to loss is the reflex of the "Race" rods, but be even stronger than say a standard 3 wrap......Posted Image Before you drive the girls crazy here in
the office let me point out these are a real specialized rod and as such has a special place in Rev flying and as such being that the lead guy in team flying
seems to take the most abuse here's my offer for the "team" leaders if this sounds like the rod your looking for when you order team stuff I'll throw in a set
at no cost to try.....Posted Image Once again I made these for the Family member who has been breaking standard "Race" rods and found them fragile but love all the
reflex of them no matter what, these second generation "Race" rod have even more reflex and are even tougher.....Posted Image Before we get into what and how there
made lets just say the "Race" fairy made these and will continue as long as the base materials are on the market, as for how many wraps, huh wrap what Posted Image
yes there is no info cause if these get out it will be because I told someone how to make them..... BenPosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

Sammy, these puppies will be stronger and more resilient. I think that means that NoName won't be able to break 'em so easily over your head. Better put on your crash helmet!

Easy to do Mario.

Fly with Sammy, claim that he forced you into the water, panic, yank hard on the lines... Posted Image

Very nice. I quit flying race rods except when flying with a group for the very reason you mention. The water is like a magnet to me. Race rods fly so nice but don't play well in the ocean. Next kite I will have them upgrade to the aqua race rods.
