I'm very happy to announce the launching of the last development that we add to our rod Series. This is the "SSS" (Swelled Sealed Series). Swelled because all models have a swelled butt and sealed because we use a new process of waterproof finishing with a great and classic look. We had many customers asking for "impregnation" and this is our answer to this market searching. After many months looking for the right product we found into the industry market the answer to our requirements. This rod Series will be available in our 7' #4, 7'6" #5 and 8' #6 tapers and all will be 2/1 configuration. Wrapped with Pearsall Gossamer as all our rods but with central tiping. Also they have a full cork reelseat. I tried to keep this rods as simple as I can and finished them as real fishing instruments keeping the "full soul" of bamboo, hope you like them, they are a "dream" to cast      Thank you for the help TarponCraz |

Hi Marcelo, We are eager to see the photos of your new SSS Series rods. To post photos, what you need to do is first open an account with www.photobucket.com. Then up load your photos to your account. After you have sucessfully uploaded your photos, go into the forum and get into "Post Message" mode. At the location where you want a photo to appear, you invoke picture icon on "Add Tags" ToolBar, it will be the 4th icon from the left on the lower row of icons. Eg ![]() [/img] Now place your cursor in between the two inner brackets symbols and go to photobucket webpage where you have uploaded your photos.

Wow Marcelo  The new rod is indeed a beautiful answer to the ultimate saltwater cane rod  ! Love those Fries details, swell and superfine tapered grip. I suppose the 2/1 configuration will mean more will be able to afford and appreciate your wonderful rods. BTW are they hollow-built? Gripping my jaguars tighter as I think more people will be eyeing your rods! haha Congratulations CY |

Hi Marcelo, Glad you posted those beautiful photos. The rods is just magnificient!  . The next time I got my hand on Chee Yung's jaguar, I will not let go untill he pry my fingers open with a screw driver. Hehehe ;D ;D ;D May I asked what type of varnish you used? I noticed the coating on the thread is thick but that on the blank is light yet water resistant. Wong aka TarponCraz |

Hey Wong:
Thank for your words. I must tell you that the product we use is not a varnish is a special product that we found in the industry that is used to seal machine part's that work into the water. We made the first rod extremelly careful because we doesn't know for sure what the reaction would be. For our surprise the cane performs wonderful and here we are a new development and a NEW Rod Series.
When you compare the traditional taper CF704 with the same CF704SSS you would find a more stiff rod with a lot of backbone and weighting 3 ounces.
