SURFCASTING 2 & 3 SECTIONS
CASSIOPEA XTR SURF A definitely brilliant rod series, which stands off the average for its interesting list of technical specifications. The blank is made from CX-2 Nano LRC, a low resin content carbon of the highest modulus available. The whole range of casting weight models has an impressive fast reactive action and it can be used in whatever sea or wind condition. The components are top level: genuine Fuji Alconite guides with fluorescent inserts and genuine Fuji Gold Series reel seat. The 4.50 meters versions features a more parabolic action to allow any kind of casting style. The Cassiopea 120 gr, unlike other casting weight models, fits 7 guides, the perfect choice to drive the tighter line coils created by smaller sized reels. More powerful models have 8 guides and must be combined with bigger

reels (8000 and 1000 sizes). We want to highlight the heavier model too, a 300 g casting weight rod, one of the most powerful surf rods on the market. This model is actually able to accomplish any challenge and it is a perfect choice for shark and rock fishing with live bait. The super sensitive tubular carbon tips mounted on each model have been crafted in order to be active also during the casting action, when they help to push your lead to the horizon. The guides wrapped on Cassiopeia XTR are double leg Fuji MN Alconite. If the quality of the inner ring must be high, because it gets in direct contact with the fishing line, the rigidity and corrosion resistance are important requirements for the steel frame. In all this, Fuji excels worldwide. Between the guide’s feet, a phosphorescent painted area helps rod’s visibility while night fishing.
MN Alconite
HIDROGEN SKYRACER SURF-R A very, very special rod, characterized by the incredible coexistence of a super slim blank and an explosive power. As for the casting, it is clear that the drastic reduction of the blank’s diameter results in a higher execution speed of the athletic gesture, because the rod cuts the air like a blade, undergoing a lower pressure. But then reactivity is needed, and in this case we have abounded, both using the Super High Modulus CX2 Nano Tek carbon, and applying the innovative Twist Free technology, a direct antagonist of the torsion that influences the behavior of the rod immediately after the line’s release. With the amazing Fuji K Alconite rings, the line management is in safe hands, even if it is a braided one, usually to be handled with silk gloves. Beyond their native quality, they are fixed by double wrappings to seal the spaces on both sides of the feet, a solution that today marks the best Trabucco surfcaster rods. If we can talk about perfection in a 250 gram tool, we can say that we have achieved it, and we have also completed the job with an exciting cosmetic. Take the Hydrogen to the beach just to show it? Don’t waste your time, please, this is a terrible fishing rod!
The carbon solid tip is highly visible through the darkness.

On the butt section, the special 45° gradient of the upper carbon layers is clearly visible. It counteracts torsion in the blank, protecting it from breakage but mainly increasing casting distance and accuracy, because the longitudinal carbon fibers and rod’s guides keep their alignment during the cast. So Hidrogen performs like a knife, rather than - in a mess - like a whip.
