![]() In short, because our FastGlass is so strong we can use less material, this gives us a very strong blank that is light and extremely responsive. We use it in our fly rods for the very same reasons.With the majority of fibres running longitudinally – where they are needed most – we can produce fly rods that are not only very strong but are very light and have faster recovery speeds than conventional E-Glass or even standard S-2 Glass. The Sikorsky Helicopter Corporation even have a patent on it’s use. ![]() Modern unidirectional S-2 Glass is primarily used in the construction of wind turbine blades, helicopter rotor blades and militarily aircraft. ![]() Even today, most fibreglass fly rods are constructed using older E-Glass material – And of course that old school glass feeling is a very real part of the affection many anglers have for ‘glass’.Unidirectional S-2 Glass is a modern composite material that exhibits high damage tolerance, high tensile strength, high flexural strength and is extremely well suited to advanced fly rod construction.
