Redington’s Nti

Redington is calling its NTi rods the biggest advance since graphite replaced fiberglass. NTi stands for Nano Titanium and what it does is restructure the rod’s graphite resins, which in turn increases strength and allows less of the high-modulus material to be used. That means the rods are lighter than ever. All models are nine feet. Rod weights from 4 to 12 are available. ($625; 800-253-2538)
