In contrast to conventional carbon fibers, where the fabric structure always is oriented 2-dimensionally, with 3DX 3D-Cross DAIWA has developed a 3-diminsional carbon fiber material.
Special carbon fiber material for the improvement of the torsionresistance. Conventional carbon fibers are always layered in a 90° angle - the new X45 material features a 45° angle and is combined with 0° and 90° layered carbon fibers. This construction makes the rods stronger and more distortion-proof. Despite the increased distortionproofness the flexibility is maintained. This implies that X45 rods are not only stronger and cast more precisely, but also support the angler at the presentation of delicate lures and at ending the fight with the fish safely.
The interwoven 3DX carbon fibers are integrated into the blank during manufacturing. This "skeleton" enhances the compression, improves the flexural strength and makes the blank faster.
Conventional blanks
3DX blanks
Thanks to the use of 3DX carbon fiber material, the blank compression is considerably improved. The rod features always the same power transmission – regardless the direction of movement. Additionally the rod features obviously reduced torque – more precise casts are the consequence. The hexagonal pattern is widely distributed in nature and has ever been the basis for substantial technical innovations.

At our Nanoplus technology the resin material first is enriched with a nanoalloy compound and then is used for connecting the single carbon fibers, thus enabling the design of very lightweight and robust blanks.

X45 offers the perfect balance of strength, control and elasticity
V-Joint is a special spigot joint, where the spigot and the blank around the spigot are made of a special, exclusively for DAIWA made BIAS carbon fiber material. The carbon fibers follow a 45-degree angle. The consequence is higher strain resistance and an improved bending curve.
