New Series of Synit HellBent jigging rods currently in testing. The HellBent blanks are rolled to Synits design and spec's here in NZ by Kilwell. they will be available in x4 weight classes and various lenghts from 5ft all will be custom built by the Synit Team. The build spec is up to the owner to choose the level of bling and Laser etching. But standard will be a choice of either Alps Zircon or Fuji Sic guides, Alps Alloy Tri reel seat or Fuji Graphite reel seats, Split butt grips in either Black, Camo Blue, Camo Arctic or Camo Urban grips, Anodised Aluminium winding checks on all grip ends
HellBent "Death Nail" PE6-10
HellBent "Exorcist "PE5-8
HellBent "Lucifer" PE3-5
HellBent "Seth" PE2-4
Rather than doing the standard deadlift these blanks have been subjected to shock loading by bouncing the deadlift weights.
 The HellBent Death Nail bounce testing a 30kg weight
 The HellBent Exorcist bounce testing a 26kg weight
 HellBent Lucifer bouncing 20kgs of weight ------------- www.synit.co.nz |

Bend my ear on Wednesday , this jigging thing is getting complicated------------- Remember it's not the number of breaths you take that is important in life, but rather the number of times that life takes your breath away. |

I agree Mozz, looks like way to much pain on the angler ------------- I would rather laugh with the Sinners, than cry with the Saints |

Yes guy's your right. Now you know why you dont see other rod companys lifting more than 20kg without using a rig of some sort. We will be using a rig in future but we wanted to get an idea of the leverage of a 5'6" blank and 30kg straight dead lift.
Most would use 4'8" to maybe 5'3" with that sort of weight but there are some out there who want to be different. We have even made blanks 4'3" which definately gives you an unfair advantage but these can be awkward on say a charter boat with muliple anglers.
If you are wondering why make them 5"6" in the first place, it allows the custom builders a few more options with tip dimensions etc. Chop 50mm off the tip or butt and you have a completly different animal.

The blanks in the photos above are 100% carbon. The main ingredient in the blanks that allow them to lift these weights without breaking is double bias carbon. The actual use of 45 deg carbon has been around for a long time. We have been using heavy grades (250-400gsm) for America cup components for around 10yrs but the finer weights suitable for rods hasnt been economical until recently. We have made blanks with T300 3k woven double bias and we also have the new material out of Taiwan (flat sheet double bias) which the blanks above are made of. |

Pricing will depend on what build spec you want, as these are custom built to the customers requirements, can PM you with approximate estimates Carbine, we have the first O/H off the glue by Monday. As for the percentage of graphite in the blank, we haven't used any other material other than carbon graphite. Some other manufacturers use a percentage of glass and that's fine, we have used some new technology on our's which allows solely carbon to used, but be aware that in all carbon blanks resin is used to bond the materials when baking. A 100% carbon blank will always contain a percentage of resin, otherwise there is nothing to hold it together. ------------- www.synit.co.nz |

Just for a little info when you buy carbon you can get the uni down as low as 70gsm to over 300gsm. If you then use say 15gsm carbon scrim you can alter the percentage of cross weave in the blank, another words you can up the hoop strength by using the 70gsm uni option. With the uni coming in different degrees of modulus and now elastic type carbon (45deg), you mix all this with different taper rates and it all gets very interesting. |

Nagged that is very interesting and looks very impressive...
Will your jigging rods be rated in Grams or KG's? E.G 200grm or 15-24kg....And what will be the Max weight?
Any prices yet?
Warranty?
Like i said they look Grouse ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fans-Of-Synit-Rods/137662896327800 |

Torcea those are good questions but as I only work on the design,test, and destroy side of things here Tiny will have to answer most of your questions as our guys are still deciding which range to go with.
1- slower taper with heavier tip size or
2- faster taper with smaller tip size.
We have tested blanks that dead lift 8kg to 30kg in both.
Trouble is everybody you talk to has a different veiw, but thats fishing

| thats why alot of the japanese/taiwanese manufacturers say 99% carbon, the other 1% is resin |

Getting close to the final formula for this range, Tiny got to do a work out (on the Test Rig) with 20kg on the Mid range jigging blank, while he generously let "Nagged" add some steel plates to the weight to do the manual lift of 24kg lift on the same blank.   ------------- www.synit.co.nz |

Not what we really wanted to test the new 300-400gm HellBent blank with, anyone know the accurate weight of these Kayaks, we had it weighing in at 31kg. Brown currently has the prototype rod up north for a bit of a thrash at the moment.... hope he don't catch any of the Yak team
