Graphiteleader FINEZZA GLFS-752L-T

Blanks Material

More tenacious blanks, even lighter operability, more resonant high sensitivity characteristics. The provision of the best blanks for the actual fishing performance required is the leader of graphite leaders.

By weaving carbon fibers that are crossed and arranged in the 45 ゚ direction, it is molded into a wall thickness while improving the uniformity and direction of the laminated density from the sumifu, which demonstrates even better characteristics for bending, twisting, and compression. As a result, the blanks' bending return (shape restoration power) is fast, so energy loss is minimized, and the feeling of playing, good swinging, flying distance, and accuracy were realized.

Increase the elastic modulus of graphite fibers and make it even lighter than graphite cloth. It is a high-grade fabric that has more freedom in the layout of lightweight shafts and contributes greatly to weight reduction while maintaining excellent mechanical properties, which are also a feature of cross base materials. The medium-elastic carbon fibers woven vertically and horizontally create high rigidity in all directions and push the potential of the shaft up a notch.
■Products adopted: Golf shaft

Weight was the only weak point of graphite cloth that creates a feeling that can not be achieved only with unidirectional fibers. However, when considering the layout that combines balancers, an outstanding feeling was born. By changing the angle to the blanks, we adjusted the balance of twisting and crushing rigidity to create an optimal feeling.

Pursuing even more high-quality materials

We looked at the material of carbon prepreg itself and looked at the resin, which is another material that makes up carbon fiber and prepreg. Therefore, by using a high-performance prepreg (carbon fiber resin impregnation sheet) that combines "Treca® T1100G" and "Nanoalloy® technology applied matrix resin", we achieved a significant increase in bending modulus while maintaining toughness. In addition, the adoption of the most advanced carbon fiber "Treca® M40X" with high elasticity, a more elastic rod shaft was born.

Technology

Olympus Sensitivity System

The good or badness of the "sensitivity" of the rod was understood after actually making the rod. In addition, there are various ways to feel it depending on the angler, and the method of evaluation has not been established. We have repeated a number of prototypes, sensitivity measurements, and actual fishing in order to "quantify sensitivity". And finally, we succeeded in quantifying the "sensitivity". " O.S.S." ( OLYMPIC Sensitivity System) was born.

This system makes it possible to provide rods that cleared the standardized numerical values under the same conditions. The experiment will be conducted on the target fish of each rod, but here we will introduce the experimental history of Rockfish Rod Finezza.

◆Human hands can detect frequencies.

The Meissner body and the Patini body under the human skin can detect the frequency (vibration). And these receptors are especially concentrated on the fingertips. There is a test result that human frequency identification ability was able to be identified in the range of ±20% in all frequency regions when tested at 15Hz to 120Hz. With this report, experiments can be conducted based on the fact that the sensitivity of the rod can be sensed by humans as a frequency.
※The number and reaction of each small body vary greatly from person to person.

◆There are two types of rockfish bites.

We decided to measure the actual rockfish bite first. In this experiment, a total of 5, 2 rods made by other companies and GOFS-762UL-S <prototype stage〉, GOFS-762UL-T G+ (many number of guides) <prototype stage>, GOFS-762UL-T G- (low number of guides) <prototype stage> I decided to attach the sensor terminal to the rod of the book and use FFTanalyzer (high-speed Fourier conversion) and MeasuringAmp (acceleration sensor) to display the frequency of Atari in a line graph on my computer. For tackle, a 1.4g jig head is used for 3lb fluoroline. Then, in this experiment, we were able to check 8 atari on each rod and a total of 40 atari, and we were able to divide it into two major patterns. The first one is the "suction and reversal type" of the graph of 1, and the other is the "tracking and tobami type" of 2. There is a difference in the waveform, so you can see that a different frequency is occurring.

◆Frequency of each Atari

As a result of calculating the frequency of Atari transmitted to the rod from the aforementioned vibration acceleration graph, the "suction and reversal type" is mainly at a frequency of 6 to 18 Hz, and in Company A's tubular rod, the trajectory of Atari is only once, representing the trajectory of short bytes. I was. For this reason, it is important not to feel the Atari and multiply it with a waase for such a very small Atari with low frequency, but how to multiply it automatically with a soft tip. It turns out that the other "tracking and tsubami type" is a frequency range of 30 to 40 Hz. Since there is a clear difference in the graph depending on the rod in this area, it can be said that the condition of the high sensitivity rod is how you can feel the bite of this area.

◆The difference in the natural frequency is the difference in how you feel

Things vibrate at a fixed frequency when they are impacted. This is called the proper frequency. It is generally said that the harder the higher the frequency, and the softer the lower the frequency. And of course, there is also an inherent frequency in the fishing rod, and the one that measured it is Table 3. The 3lb flororine is attached to Omori No. 2, and the average value of 64 times when you play the thread with your finger is displayed. Looking at this, it is obvious that only the rod of Company B is a rod with an inherent frequency biased in the low frequency region. It is thought that the difference in the natural frequency of each rod is one of the reasons why the feeling of Atari is different.

◆What makes it clear is the resonance state.

There is a phenomenon called "resonance". " It can be said that "resonance" means that the amplitude is the greatest when the natural frequency and the frequency given from the outside match, that is, if the frequency of Atari is equal to the natural frequency of the rod, it will be in a resonant state and feel "high sensitivity". If you compare the frequency of the two Atari and the natural frequency graph of 3, Company B's rods are difficult to sense the Atari of "tracking and Tsumami type", and Finezza has its own action on both tubular top and solid top. Depending on the determination, you can see that it can be sensed against the Atari of both sides. In particular, you can clearly see the difference in the 30 to 40 Hz Atari of the "tracking and Tsumami type" where there is a difference in sensitivity. As a result, even if it is a solid top, it can be said that it can achieve high sensitivity that is comparable to tubular depending on the action setting. I couldn't see the difference in sensitivity due to the number of Finnezza's guides in this experiment.

◆If you compare the attenuation rate, the difference is clearer.

In addition to the above experiments, we also paid attention to the attenuation rate and sensitivity. The attenuation rate represents the speed and size of the vibration decay. If the attenuation rate is high for the frequency of the Atari, the vibration will converge immediately even if the Atari comes. In other words, it becomes difficult to feel it as a vibration with the palm of the hand holding the rod. Using a oscillator, when I checked the attenuation rate of each rod for the measured tami-type Atari (about 30 Hz), it matched the ranking listed from the actual feeling of use. It can be quantified in a fairly clear way, so it can be said that it is a powerful method as a means to measure sensitivity.

The time waveform of GOFS-762UL-T, which had the lowest attenuation rate at Atari = 30Hz, and the highest attenuation rate of Company B (solid), which was the highest, into a time waveform. The slower the waveform convergence (low attenuation rate), the higher the sensitivity.

And also on the golf shaft

Graphite Reader Sensitivity System

Even if the shaft of the golf club is asked about flex, torque, kick point, and weight, the sensitivity = sensitivity has not been considered very important so far. Of course, elements other than sensitivity are also important, but the performance to create a reliable shot to further utilize those characteristics was the sensitivity of the shaft. Feel the good or bad of the shot in the palm of your hand, instantly judge the function of the shaft, and feed back to the next shot. It's sensitivity to make it possible. The know-how cultivated in the development of fishing rods is G.S.S. ( It is utilized in the production of high-sensitivity shafts as a Graphiteleader Sensitivity System.

G-Maps

In general, the blanks of the fishing rod are made by distributing carbon fibers at 0° (vertical) and 90° (horizontal) longitudinally, and layering carbon sheets (prepreg) according to the required power.

In Graphite Reader, by adopting a further evolved manufacturing method called G-MAPS, we succeeded in creating blanks with increased power and strength. The G-MAPS manufacturing method is an excellent physical method that can also increase torsion rigidity by incorporating a multi-layer structure using ultra-thin carbon prepreg and arranging the fiber angle diagonally in the longitudinal direction in some layers.

Therefore, the blanks of the G-MAPS manufacturing method can be said to be high-tech blanks with performance that could not be achieved with the conventional general manufacturing method, which is lightweight but powerful. If you combine this with 4-axis fabric and multi-axis fabric, it will be possible to create the ultimate blanks.

The rod tries to return straight instantly even if the cross section on the pipe is deformed by twisting or twisting as shown in the figure. The G-MAPS manufacturing method has achieved an unprecedented and spring-like bending force with outstanding shape restoration.

Autoclave technology

The "autoclave manufacturing method" is a special molding method used to produce important parts related to life, such as the main wings of Boeing 787 and the body of racing cars.

Unlike conventional curing processes and molding methods, a revolutionary molding method that can eliminate air bubbles (voids) between the layers of carbon sheets as much as possible by "deavoiding and making it vacuumed" and "further pressurized" in the heating process using a dedicated curing furnace. It is. " High quality, "high purity", "realization of stable strength" and "more weight reduction" can be expected.
