The Discovery NANO Fly fishing rods are the best rods we have ever produced. They are beautifully balanced, lightweight with  crisp clean actions that provide both superb casting and fish playing characteristics. They are also phenomenally strong thanks to the revolutionary nature of the new  Silica NANO material. carbon fibre held together with a resin impregnated with silica nano spheres. This technology is relativly new and proven it produces a material that is significantly stronger and  lighter than traditional carbon fibre.

Our Discovery NANO Fly Rods are one of the first fly rods to take advantage of the ground breaking NANO technology in Australia,the most recent evolution in fly rod innovation, uses new materials combined with pioneering manufacturing methods and processes. This technology incorporates an optimized ratio of  proprietary resin to  high modulus grade carbon fiber.
NANO  technology is never more appreciated than when traveling with a single fly rod - the improved impact resistance and strength helps ensure you have a tool that will withstand the worst possible punishment.

Carbon fibres are just that, long thin lightweight strands of carbon that need to be converted into a cloth in order to turn them into a fishing rod.
When making fly rods, each long strand of carbon fibre needs to be held together with a reinforced resin system that provide strength and impact resistance.
This carbon cloth is then wrapped around a mandrel to form the blank and subsequently baked at high temperature, melting the resin to create a full strength fishing rod.

What is Carbon Nanotube Technology?
Applying Carbon Nanotube, or CNT technology creates a stronger resin distribution system, this helps eliminate any weakness in the blank to create rods with significantly increased strength and improved impact resistance, without adding any significant weight to the blank.
The resulting rods are light, smooth and ultra strong - a 60% increase in flexural strength and a 30% increase to impact resistance - without any effect on the superb casting performance you come to expect from all our fly rods
Because  material is stronger, and less material is required and thus a rod can be lighter than an equivalent carbon fibre model. Weight savings of upto 30% are possible.There are two key advantages provided by silica nano spheres. First is the even distribution of the nano spheres throughout the resin providing equality of strength throughout the blank leading to crisp and clean rod actions. The second advantage is that silica nano spheres resist compression forces better than any other known material. This results in a fishing rod that is at least 60% stronger than a standard carbon fibre rod without interfering with the action. The improved compression characteristic also greatly improves impact resistance and durability.

The latest construction methods includes a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fiber materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength, delivering extremely efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Using  state of the art high Compression Molding process, carbon fibers are compacted for optimum density and precise alignment while simultaneously fusing the 30% percent lighter all-carbon fiber inner core.

Discovery NANO  rod becomes a true extension of the angler’s arm, It offers a more fluid transmission of energy from the arm to the fly. The eye sees the cast it wants to make and is translated to the hand through the rod instantaneously.”
The fast-action Discovery NANO rod family is intended for all fishing conditions thanks to a list of high-end features.
