The Bruce & Walker Hexagraph rod is made in only one place in the world. And that is by Bruce & Walker in the village of Upwood, Great Britain.
Hexagraph rods are now highly acclaimed all over the world. With the advent of the Hexagraph construction it was obvious to most anglers that we had pioneered a rod making concept, which combined the best of tried and trusted construction principles, and with modern materials.
The original thinking with Hexagraph was to make rods which eliminated all the in-built shortcomings of tubular rods. Most prominent among these faults is for the tube to go into oval shape when put under stress or load, and for it then to lose considerable strength. Another problem manifests itself in the manufacturing process when the matrix of carbon is wound on to a mandrel. This leaves a ‘spine’ or portion of carbon which overlaps another. Due to the taper of the rod this ‘spine’ never runs true and it is the cause of inaccurate casting.
All the above shortcomings are in-built in all tubular rods and may only be reduced by such concepts as our Expert range where wall thicknesses are increased and overall diameters reduced. Then, by using the very latest and highest quality carbon it is possible to produce rods which are lighter, length for length, than tubular rods have ever been before.
On a power to weight ratio, and length for length, Hexagraph has eclipsed the performance of any other production rod today. They are highly labour intensive, just like the old split cane rods of yesteryear. Each single Hexagraph rod takes a staggering 400 hours of labour to create, from start to finish.
| Length | Line Rating | Sections | Price GBP | Further Descriptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
11' | 1lbs | 888.00 | This rod has a through action but with plenty of reserve power and comes into its own presenting swim feeders and other baits used in heaily weed swims often encountered during the summer months. Tests have prove the ability of the rod to cast large swim | |
11' | 1.25lbs | 888.00 | This is a more powerful rod designed for extreme circumstances in river fishing, where underwater snags or whitewater wierpool fishing dictates hook and hold tactics. Also doubles as a powerful short to medium range pike rod, or margin carp rod. | |
11' | 1.5lbs | 899.00 | This rod was produced in the quest for the ultimate rod based on hooking and landing a fish in the shortest possible time. It requires accurate casting with one shot power feeders and other static bait methods. |
