In this unique approach, the fibres are aligned neither lengthwise nor crosswise, but at a 45-degree angle to the rod axis, forming an \u003cstrong\u003eX-shaped structure\u003c\/strong\u003e thanks to the alternating arrangement of the carbon fibre layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis construction method, which is often used for fishing rods subject to heavy use, such as carp and surf rods, was first used by \u003cstrong\u003eSandro Soldarini\u003c\/strong\u003e for fly fishing. Numerous tests have confirmed the \u003cstrong\u003eadvantages of this configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e, which significantly improves the performance of the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e rods use \u003cstrong\u003e8 different types of highly modulated carbon fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, arranged at an angle of 45 degrees. Combined with \u003cstrong\u003ehighly modern resins, also known as radial carbon,\u003c\/strong\u003e slim, light and highly sensitive blanks are created that don't compromise on strength and durability. These rods offer a \u003cstrong\u003epleasant action\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is also ideal for skilfully landing larger fish on thin line. These rods also feature excellent \u003cstrong\u003etorsional stability\u003c\/strong\u003e, enabling you to achieve unimagined \u003cstrong\u003ecasting precision\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high quality of these products is not limited to the carbon fibre materials used: only the best materials available on the market are used for the \u003cstrong\u003ecomponents\u003c\/strong\u003e. The rod handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003eFlor Grade cork\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant reel seat made of aluminium with a carbon spacer\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest care was also taken in the selection of the rod guides. The \u003cstrong\u003erecoil guides\u003c\/strong\u003e are made of a special \u003cstrong\u003enickel-titanium alloy, \u003c\/strong\u003ewhich is not only \u003cstrong\u003eextremely hard\u003c\/strong\u003e but also \u003cstrong\u003eflexible\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has several advantages. On the one hand, the yielding guides influence the rod action as little as possible. On the other hand, these flexible guides do not break when subjected to excessive loads, but rather deform before returning to their original shape. Furthermore, they can withstand environmental influences, \u003cstrong\u003ewithout corroding\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003estripping guide\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from\u003cstrong\u003e Sea Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rod tube previously included is a \u003cstrong\u003etriangular-shaped case\u003c\/strong\u003e with internal compartments, which will soon be replaced by the n\u003cstrong\u003eew square case featuring a longitudinal zipper\u003c\/strong\u003e. Inside the new model, there is a removable fabric sleeve with separate compartments in which the rod sections can be safely stored. We still have some remaining stock of the old triangular tube, so depending on availability, you may receive either the old triangular tube or the new case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cstrong\u003e top quality\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eoutstanding features\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eHYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e has become the preferred choice of many competitive anglers worldwide. This rod model, prized for its \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive carbon-fibre layout in the rod blank\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eunrivalled casting precision\u003c\/strong\u003e, has played a major role in some of the most prestigious competitions. One of many examples of the rod's excellence is the \u003cstrong\u003eWorld Championship 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the French team won the title with the \u003cstrong\u003eHYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is why Sandro Soldarini's Tournament rod series rightly bears its status as the \u003cstrong\u003eabsolute reference in the world of professional fishing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soldarini","offers":[{"title":"9'6\" 2-3 SOLDARINI HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT - 4 Piece","offer_id":56274657870148,"sku":null,"price":529.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10'6\" 2 SOLDARINI HYDROPSYCHE TOURNAMENT - 4 Piece","offer_id":56274657902916,"sku":null,"price":661.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/9567\/files\/image_588c7746-402e-4bed-a3bc-f3fb7f4056b7.png?v=1768938510","url":"https:\/\/www.flyfishingireland.com\/en-gb\/products\/soldarini-hydropsyche-tournament","provider":"Clonanav Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
