RIO LINES TESTS CTS BLANKS

Rio Lines, in conjunction with Bob Meiser Rods puts CTS blanks through their line testing program. This rigorous program matches our blanks with the Rio line for optimum rod performance. Visit http://www.rioproducts.com/pages/speyrecs.asp Under Bob Meiser rods our Affinity Plus series of Double handed rods are matched. Where MK is in the code, our Affinity Skagit series is applicable.

Meet the team to whom CTS credits the outstanding success of the design of our double handed blank range... the constant testing and critique of this team has been fundamental in putting our present series together.

September 2004

Heinz Maire-Hensge won the 2004 World Casting Championships in Bern Switzerland using a CTS-Strudwick Thomas Maire fly Distance rod. The rod took two of the top four places.

Other wins on the 2004 casting circuit for the CTS-Strudwick Thomas Maire tournament rod were the German, Polish, Japanese and Australian Casting Championships.

"Casters have remarked on the rod's excellent action and tip speed and the growing number of CTS-Strudwick Thomas Maire rods on both the Junior and Senior casting scene worldwide. Together with the 2004 results this reflects the quality of the product. Success in casting sport requires the very best of both technique and gear. CTS-Strudwick's innovative designs, using the best materials, is getting the results."

"A great result for both Strudwick and CTS, and on behalf of the casters worldwide, thanks for the opportunity to be involved with two great Companies."

CTS is proud to announce our membership of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA).


April 2004

CTS is excited to announce the arrival of the latest ‘State of the Art’ rolling table fresh from the USA. This digitally controlled rolling table allows us to precisely control the rolling stroke acceleration and deceleration of our blanks, reducing fiber twist and optimizing blank straightness to levels only seen in a handful of companies around the world.

This latest table also boasts an innovative pressurized rolling bed. Unlike standard rolling tables that have a fixed flat bed our new taper forming table, similar to an air bed, is specifically designed to apply even pressure to our latest radical tapering actions, ensuring minimal voids and improved fiber nesting. Our blanks are now stronger and more sensitive than ever.
