W ith the only focus to create the ultimate fishing rods, Samurai
spared no expense in creating this range, coupling the lightest
blanks possible with the highest quality components money can
buy. Specifically designed and thoroughly tested by the team at
Frogleys Offshore, these rods are designed and built for Australian
conditions by Australians. Samurai rods are unequaled in technology,
components and design.

IN INNOVATION
AND TECHNOLOGY
W here does the line meet between Maximum strength and Ultimate lightness? And what
materials provide the best strength to weight ratio?
That is the question we aimed to solve when we developed our Triple Layer Carbon blank technology.
Creating a blank with too much resin can result in a strong, unwieldy and heavy rod. Too little resin and
it could be too brittle and unable to cope with the stress of large fish.
We found that precise point where the two meet for the ultimate blank.
The blank we created has three layers, the bottom and top layer are angled in opposition to each other.
The middle layer is laid vertically. We experimented with the angles in a new carbon cloth technology until
we settled on the perfect combination, maximising resilience, flexibility and striking force.
By opposing layers of cloth at angles, we have created a blank that works along its entire length. We have
reduced twisting and have enabled the blank to transfer energy and power immediately down the line
with little to no loss of force. Less fatigue for you and a shorter fight time for the fish.
To add strength and combine the layers all blanks need resin. We have experimented with different blank
purposes and have developed a resin recipe for each individual range, there is no one resin fits all for us.
Our technology enables us to machine roll our blank to squeeze out the right amount of resin depending
on the blank’s use. It leaves us with a precise blank with absolutely no internal blemishes that can cause

Finally, all our blanks are hot press baked. This is a pressurised process that heats all the layers to bind
them as one. It hardens the resin and creates a single strong, light blank.
Power, lightness and a quick reacting force are hallmarks of our Triple Layer Carbon blanks.

The coating is a material that doesn’t damage the blank, but, combines with it to work as a single unit to
deliver a crisp feeling blank that transfers power and delivers an increase of up to 20% in reacting force.

(30lb up) come with two separate top sections which feature different tapers allowing
you to use the travel rod for multiple fishing activities. One is extra fast ideal for plas-
tics and the other medium fast taper for hard body lures and bait fishing.

T he Samurai Egi rods use Hex Axial cross woven carbon graphite to deliver a
blank that is ridiculously light and strong. They blend and cross the fibres in a
specialised Cross Fusion Press process that results in a crisp, precise machine rolled
multi-tapered blank, essential for the lunging runs of a large squid.
The tip of the rod remains light and whip sharp, imparting crucial instant action to
the jig as soon as the angler imparts any movement. There are 3 spin models in the
range and all employ Fuji Titanium guides and Sensa-Smart grips.

S amurai releases a new series of all-rounder boat rods with user friendly actions
and a wide weight range, perfect for any offshore boat style fishing. The versatility
of these rods are amazing and can be used for bait fishing, lures, trolling, casting, or
for the keen jigger why not use for a range of jigs including Tenya, Kabura and Inchiku
syles.
Each rod is outfitted with the finest rod components by Fuji — anti-tangle K Frame
guides with SiC rings and Fuji reel seats. Grips are custom shaped and the rods are
pimped out with aluminum decorative parts for some essential bling. A premium
rubber gimble cap is dual purpose: fit it into your rod holder or hold it free style, no
need for those annoying caps anymore that everyone loses!

T he Reaction name is where Samurai all started. It was the first high end rod ever
produced by the company and it holds a special place at the top of the product
line-up. The Reaction Series combines the triple layer carbon blank Samurai is known
for with a Carbon/Duralon grip assembly we call CD6 Grip Control. It stiffens the butt
end of the rod providing enhanced sensitivity and a better balanced rod. A fused
quad Axial blank wrap reduces torsion twist and results in a greater strength to weight
ratio.
The Reaction Range has been expanded and has gone back to its roots, there is a
rod for all types of spin fishing, from trout and bream, to Jew and Snapper there is a
rod that will suit everyone.

supplying two butts. One standard and one longer for those who want that additional
