Nordic Stage - Areal Pro

[Obsession_Fishing]

As the rod that gained us the most attention at the 2013 AFTA show we thought we would share some information on the upcoming Nordic Stage Areal Pro...

So the first question is... What makes this rod different from the existing Areal range?

First of all these rods should in no way be considered a "replacement" or "revamp" of the existing range. They are very different rod using even more sophisticated materials and development.

The carbon fiber used in the manufacture of the pre-pregs in the blanks for these rods is 100% Japanese made in the Mitsubishi and Toray factories. The guides are a new Kigan Z guide which uses anti tangle technology. Kigan guides are a name you will most likely see a lot more in the near future as they are making some truly great guides among other things... You can research them here: http://kigan.com/sub03/sub02.php

The reel seat is also unique. Most reel seats are mounted to a blank using tape or something similar to fill in the gap. The Areal pro utilises a reel seat arbor made of a very thin PVC. The PVC is honey combed with holes. What does this do? This reel seat arbor translates more effectively every vibration through the rod making it even more sensitive than the already sensitive Areal range. This technology also makes the reel seat mount more durable.

Probably the biggest draw card to the stand was out load test videos for each rod. These amazed not a small number of stores and media representatives which went a long way to helping the cause.

If you are interested in this range please let your local tackle store know as we hope to have them on the shelves for Christmas shopping!

In other news our much anticipated first shipment of Nordic Stage Favorites will be on Australian shores in about a months time. This rod is as versitile as they come and the Nordic Stage crew have already tested them on everything from Bass and Bream through to Jacks, Snapper and Tuna. With great cosmetics and an RRP around $190 they should live up to their namesake.

Once again thanks for the support and we look forward to bringing you more great rods in the future!
