Description
Reviews (1)

Introducing Quartz CrystalGlass with TurboTaperâ„¢ (TT). The most technically advanced, fastest glass rods on the planet.

Aptly named the ‘turbo’ because it delivers extra power when needed, the TurboTaperâ„¢ is a CTS innovation that speeds up a rod taper, injecting more power in the butt of the rod, while keeping the tip area nice and agile.

Unlike older ‘broom stick’ actions that are typically found in fast powerful rods, the TurboTaperâ„¢ brings the power in smoothly, enabling the angler to present an easier, more accurate cast yet have the control and powerful delivery that a stiff base area provides.

Read about the difference between Quartz and Quartz TT

——-

Featuring our proprietary CTS CrystalGlass™ fibreglass. CrystalGlass™ is our extremely high grade uni-directional S-Glass with amazing clarity. It’s fibreglass like you’ve never seen it before – light, lively and brilliantly flawless.

Made in our world-class facility in Auckland New Zealand. Tested by the most discerning anglers in every corner of the world.
