A graphite rod is today
used by the vast majority of fishermen, be it for fly fishing, spinning or
deep-sea fishing.
Let's talk about how graphite blanks are made.
Massimo Magliocco
is again my mentor here.
I report here his article taken from his website where he wrote about
a respected rodbuilding company in Northern Italy where the graphite
blanks are made.
The pictures which you will see are taken by Massimo Magliocco in
the factory of Aldo Silva's Modern Fly in Canzo, Como province (Lombardy,
Italy). Modern Fly also sells rodbuilding equipment and fly fishing
rod blanks.
I liberally translated and summarized Massimo's text into English (from
Italian).
Here is the link to the article.
Below is the website of "Modern fly".
Gatti ,
the Italian company near Brescia (Lombardy, Italy) also sells graphite
AND bamboo fly fishing rod blanks and components and
it's
also quite famous worldwide.

Wanna go from this page where I introduced
the topic of how a
graphite
rod
is born
to
fishing
rods suppliers?
