ELITE SERIES
The Elite series of blanks are at the forefront in design technology, Boasting
CTS’s 57msi MRT Technology. Born from the desire to create lighter more
efficiently engineered blanks, this new layup process allows us to entirely
change the material used in different areas of a 1pc. blank. Also
incorporated is out VeroCore,Varribile weight helical core. This helical
technology starts with a super light weight helical reinforcement at the tip
and progresses to a more powerful helical that delivers the cross sectional
stiffness that enhances blank response and feedback. The unique triple
taper system in the Elite series starts at the mandrel design and is then
finished off at our layup process where no fewer then three different grades
of carbon complete the blank. This taper system provides sensitive tips,
beautiful transmitting mid areas and super powerful butt. 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. Simply put, the Elite series is packed full of
technology to provide blanks unmatched for power, weight and precision.
ELITE MAG
The Elite Mag series combines the finesse of a sensitive smooth action tip
with superb butt power to cover most light line fishing demands. This series
is un-surpassed and has a perfect balance between weight, power
and sensitivity.
