Description
Vision made a very successful upgrade to the XO rod series by introducing the XO Graphene rods. Than Vision wanted to do the same for the Merisuola range as the Merisuola and Graphene fly-rods are truly meant to be together. With the new material available for these rods, and with it being the strongest tested material in the world, these rods just beg to get out and hunt bigger predatory fish. When one of these fly-rods is cast for the first time, the difference is noticeable right away.
Graphene makes it possible to make stronger rods with less material, which results action-wise in an unbelievable strength combined with a smooth action. The backbone of the Merisuola Graphene family consists of four piece, lightweight, fast action saltwater rods targeted at everything between the Caribbean bonefish, Baltic seatrout and the GT’s of the Pacific. These Merisuola Graphene fly-rods incorporate everything Vision has learned during 20+ years of rod design and manufacturing.
Vision gives a rating for the carbon that is used in each of their graphite rods. The higher the number the higher the modulus of the carbon that is used for the rod. The rating is closely related to the tonnage of the carbon in each of the rods. However this is not the whole truth, as Vision uses different carbon mixtures to achieve the desired rod action and also the resins differ from model to model. But this rating is an indication of the main carbon used in the blank. Visions premium fly-rods use graphene in the resin and these rods are identified by the Graphene logo.
