Technological advances have become the norm in our fast moving society, and fishing equipment is no exception to the technology boom. Fishing rods are available now that can help make the most novice fisherman into a tournament threat. These technological advances make our sport more enjoyable to learn and much more enjoyable to do. At CastAway, we strive to bring technology and performance together to make a modern fishing tool that is far superior to our competition. From our blank designs to the Fuji Components we use, CastAway rivals any rod on the market for lightness and strength. Technology plays a major part in why CastAway Rods has remained at the top the rod-manufacturing field. The Unique process that make CastAway Stronger and More Reliable. We coat every rod with a triple coat of UV protected finish for preventative break down. We coat behind every guide for a stronger hold in keeping the guides straight and from corrosion getting behind the thread. Every rod is spined so the blank will not twist at the tip, allowing each hook set to have the power and response expected when fishing for that trophy. Each blank is put through a rigorous flex test inspection to ensure there are no visible defects. Following the build process each CastAway rod is put through a final inspection to provide the angler with a tool that will enhance each fishing experience. How To Choose Your CastAway Rod Action and Power Action and power, when used in connection with fishing rods, are often misused. Action is simply put, the way a rod or blank bends. This is described by four different terms: Extra Fast: Flex in the upper 1/4 of the rod blank. Fast: Flex in the upper 1/3 of the rod blank. Moderate: Flex in the upper 1/2 of the rod blank. Slow: Flex is from the lower 1/3 of the rod blank. Power is best described as the amount of energy or force that is needed to make a rod blank bend. CastAway uses the following power ratings to rate its rods. Power Rating Power 1 Ultralight Power 2 Light Power 3 Medium Light Power 4 Medium Power 5 Medium Heavy Power 6 Heavy Power 7 Extra Heavy
