Field Test by BFS fishing expert in US

Background: Fiberglass is not a new material. There have been some fishing rods made of common fiberglass material, which was produced for other purposes. Big toughness, cheap, heavy is anglers' intuitive impression to fiberglass rods. Say many fiberglass rods are built with lack of strength and casting ability for precise casting.
Goals: Many anglers of finesse fishing are eager to a decent fiberglass rod. We begun to develop the hollow three-section fiberglass material in 2019. Feeling the lightest strike, smooth close quarters casting, precise pin point accurate casting, having enough backbone are four goals of the new fiberglass material.
Invention: The raw material including glass fiber cloth, wire, guides, wood material are all imported oversea with high standard. And the high-precision processing equipment imported from Japan are used in making new fiberglass. A mature new fiberglass, GLASSFIN were successfully invented after 1 year and six months of experiments, testing, tune. The four goals(Feeling the lightest strike, smooth close quarters casting, precise pin point accurate casting, having enough backbone) above have been achieved.

Why is having enough backbone important?
1: Enough backbone is for good sized fish - Trout outside Japan (US, UK for example) tends to be a fair bit larger than in Japan with 12"-20" not being uncommon. Such as average adult brown trouts are 12-19 inches long and weigh 1-3 pounds.
2: Relatively strong backbone is very good for effective flick casting in narrow place.
Fiberglass Rod Design Philosophy

The difference between quality fiberglass rods and graphite rods
Fiberglass and graphite are quite different material. Graphite fiber has high elasticity, fiberglass relatively low elasticity than graphite fiber.
Fiberglass rods recovery slowly and strongly. That's why many anglers use fiberglass rods for flick casting, backhand casting and other high-skill casting.
Angler have much better control in the whole process of casting motion with fiberglass rods, more comfortable, more enjoyable experience of skillful casting motions.
Our unidirectional S fiberglass material is slower to recovery from being bended than carbon fiber, which gives user a little more time to release the line, so you will find it easier to bring fine control on the cast motion, and very forgiving to get timing to do thumb press and control of accurate point of lure fall.

Please note there is slight color difference between the real rod and picture.
A standard non-fully insertion method is used to connect the sectional rod, which is tight and sturdy.
