Bassin' USA - Bass Fishing Forum Archives

Just checking to see what material the pro staff prefers for fishing rods. Boron, Graphite, fiberglass/graphite composites-others? I guess I'm still a graphite guy. They seem to perform great , break more often than fiberglass, but the feel is great. The graphite/glass composites would be my second choice. Your opinions please. Johnnie

HM graphite preferably HM-85. The higher you go, the more brittle they become. My HM-85's are titanium reinforced.

If you would, could you explain the meaning of the HM-85's and what it means...thanks alot... good luck on the water :p
