LEADING THE CARBON<br />
FIBRE REVOLUTION<br />
The multi-award-winning Tsuka 2 rod handle from American <strong>Tackle</strong> has redefined the<br />
carbon fibre handle market.<br />
Utilised for its remarkable<br />
strength, weight relief and<br />
ability to weather the harshest<br />
of conditions, carbon fibre<br />
has been used in major manufacturing<br />
industries for decades, including<br />
aerospace, automotive, civil engineering,<br />
and sporting goods.<br />
Recognising the value of carbon fibre’s<br />
properties for fishing rod development,<br />
American <strong>Tackle</strong> has been at the forefront<br />
of leveraging this amazing material to<br />
elevate the fishing experience.<br />
MAKING THE RUNNING<br />
Offering a variety of carbon fibre handles,<br />
reel seats, and rod blanks, American<br />
<strong>Tackle</strong> really hit its stride in 2020<br />
with the introduction of the G2 Tsuka<br />
