AFFINITY SERIES SINGLE HANDED FLY BLANKS
The Affinity series blanks represent the forefront of blank design utilizing all
the features of the CTS blank technology program. The Affinity Series
boasts CTS’s “Vero Core", variable weight helical core. Born from the desire
to create lighter more efficiently engineered blanks, this new helical
technology starts with a super lightweight helical reinforcement at the tip
and progresses to a more powerful helical that delivers the cross sectional
stiffness renowned in the Affinity heritage. New for 2010 is the introduction
of our super low resin systems. Utilizing materials with resin contents up to
30% less than standard materials, CTS’s latest blank lineup are lighter,
stronger and narrower. Increasing bending limits, response and improved
casting. Thanks to our constant taper system, the Affinity Series load
beautifully to deliver the punch needed for distance and accuracy
