The all-new Spectre Pro rods use the very latest carbon fibre technology and build on the past performance of their predecessors. For many years Snowbee have used ‘multi-modulus’ carbon technology varying the tensile modulus of the carbon fibre through the blank to precisely design and control the stiffness and flex in each section as well as the important recovery speed of the tip. Using predominantly 40 ton carbon fibre with a small amount of 36 ton Snowbee has achieved the precise crisp middle-to-tip action we required through careful manipulation of the resin formulation and carbon fibre scrim.

The blanks are left ‘un-ground’ with a natural finish leaving the original matt lay-up of the double helical hoop pattern intact adding strength to the blank making it far more durable whilst still providing the desired enhanced performance. The satin finish silver/grey blank helps eliminate ‘rod flash’ whilst the contrasting black whippings with subtle silver trim give these rods a contemporary finish and ‘understated’ look. To keep weight to a minimum we have used lightweight machined aluminium reel seats with carbon fibre inserts and a silver anodised finish. Each rod in the range has a small rubber-cork fighting butt and comes in a quality self-colour cotton drill rod bag plus matching Cordura covered rod tube.
