This video is about the construction Hi-Power X, a truly unique construction by Shimano.
Hi-Power X is a carbon fiber tape which is wrapped around the outside of the blank in a spiral construction. This makes the rod stronger, stiffer and removes twist completely! Thus, casts are longer and more accurate.
The construction of Hi-Power X is particularly unique as it allows to wrap the carbon fiber from the bottom to the tip of the blank. Indeed, very few manufacturers are able to apply this process to the end of the tip due to the fineness of the blank at this point. But with this new technology, Shimano has managed to solve the equation and create canes with both a sensitive tip and a phenomenal power.
