Anglers who pay attention to the fishing circle must have heard the news recently, that is, Toray is about to launch a revolutionary special material - M46X, which will bring a new generation boom to the fishing gear industry!
It is reported that this carbon cloth is an upgraded version of the ordinary 46T, and his strength reaches 5000 megapascals. 785 MPa higher than ordinary 46T carbon cloth (4215 MPa)!
What does this mean? Many people actually don't realize that we all know that the higher the tonnage of the fishing rod, the higher the hardness, the better the feel, but the more brittle and easy to break, the fishing weight is not large, and the toughness of the low-tonnage carbon cloth is greater than that of the high-tonnage carbon cloth. Therefore, a normal fishing rod should not only use high-tonnage carbon cloth such as 46T to increase hardness, but also use low-tonnage carbon cloth such as 40T to increase strength and fishing weight.
The strength of ordinary 40T carbon cloth is 4800 megapascals, that is to say, M46X carbon cloth has both 46 tons of hardness and 40T strength! It takes into account the hardness and strength, feel and weight.
For example, a 130-gram, 5.4-meter fishing rod produced with 40T+46T or M40X+46T carbon cloth used to catch a fishing rod with a fishing weight of 2,500 grams and a limit of 2,800 grams. However, if the fishing rod produced by M40X + M46X carbon cloth is used, the strength can reach at least 3100 grams, and the fishing power value is increased by more than 10%.
This gap is not big for many anglers, but if you convert the 10% increase in fishing power value into the weight of being able to catch fish, you will know how big the gap is: the fishing power value of a fishing rod is 2800 grams, then we can catch 18 catties of fish, but if the fishing power of a fishing rod increases to 3100 grams, then we can engage in 23 catties - 25 catties of fish!
Mr. Ma said that if the M46X carbon cloth is popularized, it will become an industrial revolution in a new fishing rod design, and the fishing gear industry will usher in a new development! Moreover, the small integrated fishing rod will usher in a subversive upgrade!
But he also said that ordinary consumers may not use this fishing rod, because to cope with ordinary fish conditions, we can't use that much strength at all, and there is no need to use so much hardness. But if you need a top-of-the-line, high-end, and awesome fishing rod, you must wait for the M46X carbon cloth to come out, of course, this fishing rod must also be very expensive, because the most expensive M40X carbon cloth number has reached 800/㎡, and the M46X will definitely be above 1000.
It is reported that Toray M46X carbon cloth has been tested by major fishing rod brands, and it is expected that the fishing rod produced with this carbon cloth will be launched in September and October.
As soon as the news came out, it sparked a lot of discussion among fishing friends. Some anglers said that in the second half of the year, it is estimated that many manufacturers will use this carbon cloth to produce fishing rods, such as the carp, the 3, etc., which is worth looking forward to, because the weight of the fishing rod is reduced, and the strength and hardness can be maintained, which is the meaning of the carbon cloth upgrade.
Some netizens said that the price is too high, and there is no need, the small comprehensive 40+46 is enough, because at present, many fishing friends mainly fish crucian carp, and about 10 catties can't use so high strength at all, and in order to look good in the data, the waist strength may not necessarily be improved. The current resources, in addition to the black pit, recreational wild fishing is estimated to be a small comprehensive fishing.
Some netizens broke the news that in fact, as early as 2022, the carbon fiber team of the Ningbo Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a stronger M55X, with a lifting strength of 5 megapascals and a lifting modulus of 540 megapascals, which is 100 megapascals higher than that of Toray M46X. If it's true, it's awesome.
Fishing friends, are you looking forward to this kind of fishing rod produced by carbon cloth?
