ITALCANNA ASPIDE

We are well aware fishing rods are just a tool to spend some free time with on the beach, but if you, like us, love challenging the impossible you totally have to look at the new Aspide rod, and we're not talking about the outside... One of our partner anglers had a specific request for us and that's where Aspide comes from, he then followed all the practical tests and development steps. This rod is the newborn object from our research and development team, it required several months of attentive work to be projected in detail as it is, 5 prototypes and 8 different raw materials. The request was to have a rod with great power, able to maintain a long lever during loading phases to gain high escape velocity without, at the same time, hardening the tip. All the opposite, the tip had to be so thin it could completely be set to zero during casting but immediately come back to full action and sensibility in fishing. All this, of course, without breaking and using the "best materials around", keeping a small diameter, extreme lightness and especially, the hardest thing, join all these features without creating a discontinuous action. That's why Aspide is based on a very innovative concept, never attempted before, a new way of thinking fishing rods, different from all our previous products and all other rods on the market. The sure are other hard rods around, but Aspide exasperates even more than Vitium the idea of a "Tough with sensible Soul" rod. Despite the clearly strong lever it is still able to carefully lead the bait in the first phases. By simply moving it in the air you cannot understand what we're talking about: It feels like a two pieces, but looking at the tip we realize something's not the way it should be... (is this a beach or surf rod?) The final results for this project have been even more incredible than we could ever expect: a crazily impressive loading speed immediate come back with minimum vibrations, zero breakings even on super thin lines you push and it goes, this rod goes progressively yet fast from the start it can be used from 75 to 175g (2,6 to 6,2 oz), a rod that beside a few specific applications goes well beyond the concept of range, ideal weight, still or rough sea. The center of gravity of the whole rod is close to the reelseat for a perfect balance (absolute lightness has no benefits without a good balance).

ITALCANNA VITIUM

New three pieces rods researches, design and development continues for Italcanna that is trying to always better combine power, sensibility and easy casting skills. We accepted the challenge to design a rod that was extremely easy to cast with in spite of the great butt power (similar to Vector C3) but with a tip diameter smaller than 2 mm . And more... that also was able to manage Ground castings. With this aim, after 7 prototypes, 10 months of designing (that still goes on for the new measures), strict tests and big efforts by our whole Team, the first VITIUM is born from the latin name here intented as "vice-sick for fishing..." All the models will be made with joint elements through the Italcanna patented REW-TAPER system to guarantee stability and endurance and realized with at least 6 different materials smartly mixed together also including the 400Gpa high module. The ultra sensible tip panders waves motion and gives better visibility to the small fishes and higher stability in fishing. Nanocomposites resins are used to increase the general resistance. Action with precise power distribution carefully calculated with specific softwares for a maximum performance in casting. Inox steel frame rings and anti-friction and anti-wear material inside. Specifically CR 150: First model out in the market, total length of 4,50m. Usable for many casting techniques, its better expression tho is in ground with 125g (even if can handle 150g) and in side with 150g. In above it is suitable for all the weights but we suggest to use it at its maximum with 175g. As you can see this reflects the new Italcanna philospy to indicate not the maxium weights (sometimes misleading) but the optimal weight for the different casting styles. Excellent sensibility with the small fishes and in fighting with big ones. For sure a polyvalent rod for both amateurs and professionists. From May 2017 a new model will join the previous ones, a new Vitium 130g 4,94m long particularly suited for agonism but not only that. Light, powerful and easy is this new version, realized with high modulus carbon and Graphene in the central part. (for more info about Graphene we remind you of our presentation post on facebook at this link Graphene on facebook) The performances of this new model will be 'way beyond' every expectation...
