Congratulations! You have just purchased one of my 'Stu Apte Signature Series' Rods. When Offshore Angler asked me to design a series of fly rods and spin and plug rods, I told them that I only had one condition before my name went on the rods... they had to be the very best! My Signature Series Rods are made using HMP (High Modulus Performance) graphite.
HMP has the advantage of proven performance. It is made of a new aerospace-grade graphite that is among the highest rated modulus materials (even higher than IM6), resulting in fast-taper, light weight rods with smooth controlled casting power, maximum sensitivity and tremendous strength. With HMP, the flyfisher has a rod that is less fatiguing, but with the power to develop tight loops that will punch a hole through the wind for quick accurate casts. In addition, HMP has a high tensile strength for greater lifting and fish fighting power.
You will be amazed at the capabilities of these rods. Their subtle yet rich appearance gives my Stu Apte Signature Series a distinctive look you will appreciate through year of fly fishing enjoyment and satisfaction.
As far as I am concerned, there is not a better rod on the market at any price. - Stu Apte
