CD

Now into our 6th generation and these rods just keep improving as technology advances and the demands of the angler escalate. These new rods were designed utilizing the infamous Albagraph series action but incorporate some major improvements with Winn grips and Alps components. Technology incorporates both high modulus 46 ton carbon blank and the H.C.B and E.E.G method of manufacturing. These blanks are also modeled off the famous East European (Russia/Serbia etc) spinning rods which are light powerful, significantly stronger than ever before and extremely sensitive. As with previous generations these famous rods can be used for almost any occasion: from small baitfish, snapper, kings, jigging, off the wharf, rocks etc. Nothing is too much for this most famous of rod series that has come from our stable.

The SlowGraph was designed specifically for Kubara/slowjigging lures and the weight range we use in NZ. It is the ultimate Slow jig rod with a soft tip to be forgiving on the small hooks used but responsive enough to keep constant tension on the fish. As you move down the rod there is plenty of grunt created by the high modulus carbon, even the most stubborn of fish can be turned. With the highest quality ALPS reel seat and guides this rod is nothing short of perfect for slow jigging!

The CD Extrasense is often renowned by customers as being the most sensitive rod they have ever owned “You can feel a fish fart with the rod”some say. The sensitivity comes from the simplicity of design with low profile Alps guides, minimalistic grips and a superlight weight Alps reel seat. But what really sets this rod apart is the 46 Ton carbon blank. Not only is it light weight but is super responsive making it incredible easy to pick bite detection and set the hook. The durability of the 46T carbon gives this rod an incredible backbone that constantly works for the angler and provides plenty of grunt to turn a fish. Watching the rod double over on a fish is art and science at its best, everything about its parabolic and crisp nature makes it a pleasure to fish.

The CD Haku topwater range has been designed in NZ for chasing one of the hardest fighting fish on the planet – the Haku aka Yellowtail Kingfish.
