1. New material WG21 (wonder - glass
21)
The blank material of the WGJ, evolved from UD glass (single directivity glass)
which is called 20 century last super lightweight glass materials. Smith
has used this material with special manufacturing method, increasing strength
by 60% and lightening to an average 12% reduction in comparison with the rod which was
made purely from UD
glass material as a single unit.
Regrettable it is not possible
presently to release the details.
2. The
endurance which is proven with the field test, resistance strength
characteristic
The actual test is done mainly
with the heavy class rod, in New Zealand on king fish over 20kg. In addition catching
a sail fish of 70kg, fighting time 7 minutes.
