Description
Middy Nano-Core XZ65-2 World Elite Pole 16.5m / Package,
The XZ65-2 is world class and designed for elite competition anglers. When the original XK55 pole was launched in 2011, it was received with awe and wonder as to how such a stiff pole could be achieved for the money.
This was followed by the original XZ65 model which was even better. Incredibly, the XZ65-2 is even stiffer and stronger than its predecessors. It is built using new Nano-Core carbon formed into a CS-3 macromolecular structure with three covalent bonds for extreme strength and rigidity and weighs just 775g at 13m, making this is in our opinion the best 16 elastic rated pole in the world.
The carbon undergoes a unique VC-X curing process under extreme pressure to force out any tiny air imperfections for a more consistent action and further increases the strength in each section.
The pole features new C-Fuse aligner system sections and kits meaning they are interchangeable across the Nano-Core range, new DNS distance numbering system on butts for totally precise fishing and CKB colour keyed bush-fit bands showing exactly where to cut back to fit Middy PTFE bushes.
The graphite used in this pole can withstand temperatures of 3800 Kelvin (equivalent to 3502 degrees centigrade) and it is this unique HKD process that provides immense and consistent stability when the pole is subjected to extreme summer temperatures.
Also new with the Nano-Core poles is a range of Safe-Zone mini reversible butts, which feature soft EVA domed ends to protect the pole from elbows and when shipping back. They're ideal for use with the new short F1 kit supplied. The package includes all of the following kits which are supplied ready tubed; a new F1 Pro-10 kit (designed specifically for use with the Pro Extra-Short 4th), three additional Karp2 G-22 kits, a Match3 Pro-16 kit, a Match3 G-16 kit and a Karp2 Pro-16 kit.
In addition, you get a Cupp kit, a Pro Extra-Short 4th, a Safe-Zone Pro reversible 11.5/13.0m mini-butt, free Hi-Viz elastication kits and a holdall from the new Xtreme luggage series. Within the pole itself, you get a 6-8 silverfish super-response top three kit, which is exclusive to this pole and can be used for top-end international silverfish competition venues.
The 16m package also includes a Safe-Zone Pro reversible 14.5/16m mini-butt. That's a total of over œ670 worth of extras included. Another great feature of the Nano-Core poles range is that every single elastic kit is pull-it reinforced, ready for fitting a side pull-it bush.
The sections in this pole are micro-ground to create a low friction S-Slide surface, making shipping back faster and almost effortless. The balance ratio is 29.1 Newtons at 13m with a Karp2 Pro-16 kit fitted; while other pole makers only provide a weight, it is actually this balance ratio that gives you a true guide to the feel of the pole.
