Why are D-Flex rods better than traditional rods?

 

D-Flex is the fishing rod reinvented by Founder and Doctor of Physics, Dr. Chris Underwood, using scientific principles.

We make triangular carbon fiber fishing rods, not circular. This has never been done before D-Flex. Our patented D-Flex triangular profile reduces weight and flexes differently in opposite planes, for universally improved performance and a better fishing experience.

The performance of a D-Flex rod is completely different. It’s all about the shape.The benefits are extraordinary:

Dual Action

D-Flex rods flex differently. More flexible one way and more rigid the other. Compared with conventional circular rods which flex evenly in any direction, our Differential Flex innovation creates a Dual-Action rod. Stiffer for casting, softer and with better feedback for playing fish.

Lighter & Stronger

Triangular geometry is inherently stronger than circular. So a D-Flex rod needs less material than any circular rod for the same power rating. Less material = lighter weight, which is especially important for the likes of fly and lure anglers. D-Flex uniquely has the opportunity to make the lightest carbon fiber fishing rod blanks in the world.

Optimized Energy Transfer

The Dual-Action of a D-Flex rod transitions energy perfectly through the casting cycle for a pure, heightened synergy between angler, rod & line. For a single hand fly rod, the softer action loads optimally and presents true, tactile line feel while the stiff lever action delivers maximum power and pinpoint control.

Point & Shoot Tactical Accuracy

The D-Flex shape eradicates the unwanted spine effect of conventional rods, and instead naturally generates a performance-boosting Triple Spine Effect, which self-stabilizes and resists ovalisation for perfect straight-line tracking. The line launches precisely where you aim it.

Dampens Oscillation

D-Flex's Dual-Action dampens oscillation in the final moment of a cast more rapidly, generating a superior energy transfer into the line for greater accuracy and control. The result is a supremely crisp, snappy recovery that's unmatched by any circular rod, and an incredible payoff of smooth power and precision.

It’s also worth mentioning, that the D-Flex triangular cross section means D-Flex joints can't inadvertently twist and slip. Winner 👍
