1 DESIGN At Shikari, blank design is of paramount importance in producing top-quality, high performance blanks. Achieving the the finest blank design, involves many factors. Two of the most important are the blank designer and customer input. We rely heavily on the input from experienced customers. They are expert anglers from all over the world who bring valuable information on their fisheries and fishing methods. This input allows us to continually fine tune blanks for their specific applications. MATERIALS SHX Material applications and design technology lay-ups, combined with 57 million modulus high strain graphite fibers allow performance series blanks to be lightweight with crisp actions but, at the same time, contain a reserve power which, at y command allows fisherman of all abilities to tame their next trophy catch. SHX blanks feature a non-glare eggshell finish. SHIII Known in the past as IM-6, we always continue to upgrade and find new ways to make materials more receptive to creative innovations. With current technologies, 42 million modulus graphite fibers continue to create a remarkable stiffness to weight ratio for the cost. This is the best performance blank on the market for the money. Fish will always cringe when they know the hunter comes armed with a rod built on a Shikari SHIII blank. These blanks feature a gloss translucent brown finish. Walleye Series The materials used to create the Walleye Series are the same ones which have given fishers many of their greatest fishing pleasures through past years. With SHIII materials and innovative layup systems, 2001 became the year for the birth of the Walleye Series. The sensitivity, fishability, and durability you have demanded from the current SHIII, Series is now ys to use in the search of those recordbreaking walleye. These blanks feature a new gloss translucent olive finish. SHII Formerly the material known as Standard is re-introduced to you as SHII. The 33 million modulus high strain graphite fibers continue to offer an affordable yet durable blank with excellent Performance. This material possesses certain characteristics, which are often lost with higher modulus materials. The durability and reasonable cost of the SHII has made these blanks a popular choice among rod builders through the years These blanks feature a gloss clear finish which shows the natural Charcoal graphite color. Glass/Graphite A performance blend of lightweight E-Glass and high modulus graphite fibers are combined to produce a durable bass rod series By utilizing a fiberglass tip and graphite in the butt of the blank, we ve developed a combination that give reaction bait fisherman the subtle tip they require and the power they demand. E-Glass Saltwater Tough, custom-made E-Glass fabric with a super strong epoxy resin System produce blanks which can take the tremendous loads required in big game fishing. Shikari E-Glass blanks feature a custom high gloss black finish. RATING SYSTEM The following explanation of rating system will help you understand how to read the specifications ab each rod blank. BLANK ACTIONS Many rod builders confuse blank action with a rod blanks line or lure rating. At Shikari, we refer to blank action as the way in which a rod blank bends, not the power of the blank. We have described the actions of the blanks as they relate to the overall Shikari Blank product line. Action descriptions often vary between manufacturers. If you have questions concerning actions for a specific fishery or use, please contact us. NUMBERING Most Shikari blanks are given a power rating relative to other rods within their category. Our power rating numbers will run between 0 for the lightest power and 9 for the heaviest. Blank numbering example: Model No. IMB 664 [I= SHIII Series, MB = Magnum Taper Bass Casting, 66 = 6 foot 6 inches long and 4 = #4 power or lb. line in that category] TIP, BUTT and FLY LINE SIZES Tip sizes are specified in 64th s of an inch. Butt sizes are specified in inches. Fly line sizes are specified as double tapered.
