It is a polymer (plastic), which means it's probably not heat and chemical resistant. I can just imagine someone leaving their rods/reels in the boat, and find a mess on their next outing. Their G.Y. senko they left tied on the reel just melted right through it! I think this material has it’s advantages AND disadvantages.

Higher performance + Lighter overall weight. Yeah that would be a very good option, a lot of other industries use the combination of both materials very successfully, including car tuning parts.

KInd of like Megabass did with titanium in their rods. I would like to see one ofthese companies come out with an alum/carbon fiber composite. KInd of like Megabass did with titanium in their rods.
