rod "modules " question

Let me put it this way, blank manufacturers have many options today as to
the material used in a blank.

As I stated in a recent article, many blanks are a combination of the
various moduli o. This is why we are now seeing blanks with a higher
modulus rating that can withstand the rigors that average anglers put them
through.

But still, if a blank is built with primarily a 65 million modulus weave
graphite to a) maintain thin walls, while reducing the overall weight . and
b) to increase the sensitivity of the blank. Then yes that blank will be
more susceptible to failure.

As yet I have not seen or heard of any new "miracle"
material, which will give the manufacturers the high modulus ratings they
seek, and still provide the strength
necessary to hold up to the average angler. Quite honestly I do not believe
that the everyday angler has need for these rods. Course that is just MHO,
and we all know the adage concerning opinions o

Now Dave, is that correct with Today's materials?
