Synthetic fly rods

Sports No Comments

Today, Fly Fishing Rod are mainly made from carbon fiber/graphite with cork or, less frequently, hypalon being favored for the grip. Such rods generally offer greater stiffness than bamboo, are much more consistent and less expensive to manufacture, and require less maintenance. Fiberglass was popular for rods constructed in the years following World War II and was the “material of choice” for many years. However, by the late 1980s, carbon/graphite composite rods had emerged as the materials used by most fly rod manufacturers. These premium rods offer a stiffness, sensitivity, and feel unmatched by any other synthetic material. Graphite composites are especially well-suited to the construction of multi-piece rods since the joints, known as ferrules, in better-quality graphite rods do not significantly affect overall flex or rod action. Today’s modern carbon graphite composite fly rods are available in a wide range of sizes and types, from ultralight trout rods to bass fishing rods and two-handed “spey” rods.

The Xterra Triathlon Series

Sports No Comments

There are a lot of people that love to compete in triathlons but there is a rare group of people that like to take it to the max. These are the people that compete in Xterra triathlon events. This is an offroad series that includes mountain biking and trail runs instead of the normal on the road series. It is a lot more intense than most people ever realize and it takes a special person to get involved with this type of sport. Not too many people are willing to hurl themselves down a mountain on a bike just to pass a finish line.

The articles I read on a plane

Sports No Comments

On Friday night I had to take a late night flight out of Los Angeles international Airport. The reason for my trip was business/personal. My destination was Cleveland Ohio and it was a direct flight. I have to say the flight was better than I expected and I enjoyed myself. Halfway through the fly I occupied my time by reading some speed training articles. Years ago I did a lot of jogging and I wanted to ramp up my activities to the art of running. The problem is things have changed so much over the years I needed to learn more about some of the dynamics of running.

A Good Way to Avoid Supplement Scams

Sports No Comments

In looking a supplements and shakes and other vitamins I found there are countless Bodybuilding Supplements available. Each supplement claims to benefit your body and cure whatever ails you, from sore muscles to low energy. One good rule of thumb not only when looking at supplements but just about any product is that if it looks to good to be true it probably is. So avoid products that claim to be a cure all and stick with products that are used and recommended by people and bodybuilders alike. Try to stay away from anything that makes you wonder if that claim could actually be real.

They Have a Rivalry

Sports No Comments

My brother and my husband have been in competition their whole lives. It’s an odd dynamic, because I don’t think my brother can even admit it. He’s really competitive, while my husband isn’t so much. My husband usually lets him have his way, until he doesn’t. Like, when we were dating, he punched him in the gut for insulting me. They used to compete about things like who could jump higher basketball. Now, it’s more business deals. He has to always make sure that he comes out ahead. It is getting much better, but I find it funny that he can’t admit that there’s a rivalry.

Air Jordans like Fusions and Dub Zeros

Sports No Comments

The Air Jordan Force XIII (AJF13) is much anticipated for 2009.  Air Jordan fans and serious collectors will recognizethem from the Flint Greys to the home color scheme.  There’s been a number of other Air Jordan Fusions but my favorite are the retro Air Jordans.  The Fusions will be mixed with the Air Force 1s, another sneaker made by Nike (Note- Jordan Brand now makes the Air Jordans).  There’s also another hybrid Jordan called the Dub Zeros, and the Six Rings.  All three feature the side panels derived from golf balls, and dimpled straps. These are some great shoes that I’ll add to my shoe collection.
