I'm still struggling with the "titanium" fly rods...

/daytripper (what's up with that?)


As I understand it, they're titanium/graphite composites.

It's probably about 90% hype, aimed at high-tech gears whore who need
the latest and greatest (and most expensive) thing, but titanium
composited with graphite has some excellent properties for fly rods,
including lighter weight and/or greater strength (take your pick). The
material has been used in tennis rackets and golf clubs for years, and
it's increasingly being used in airplanes.

I'm not going out to buy a titanium rod any time soon, but I'm willing
to believe it might someday become the standard for high-end rods.
