The
Kaha is the new jigging range for Synit in 2012, the range includes some new weight classes and some technology changes to continually improve the actions of their rods. Some 18 months ago Synit trialed a new lightweight double bias carbon produced in Europe, it offered the same strength as the heavy double bias material currently used in their DeepShot range but was 1/3rd lighted. This new lightweight matrial in infused with Nano helical partical resins giving superior bond stength when cured and offering a high power to weight ratio.
The new baby of the Synit jigging rod range is the Kaha 050g a supler light weight rod capable of jigging weights down to 50grams on PE2 braided lines and has a maximum rating of PE3 line. The Kaha 050g has a maximum jigging weight of 210g which allows this little rod to cover all the light jigging range. The rod is offered in
both a 5ft 6in 1pc and a 5ft 6in 2pc both have a true maximum drag setting of 9kg @ 45 degrees and a best fighting drag of 3-7kg enough to stop any hard running inshore species.
Many rod companies have shyed away from building such light weight jigging rods in the past due to the high numbers of breakages but with the advent of new carbon and resin technology the game has changed allowing skilled anglers to venture into sub 100g rods to jig for larger fish.
The main diffrences between the current DeepShot and the new Kaha range is in the action and materials used. The Kaha uses a lightweight micro fused double bias carbon with nano resins and the DeepShot uses conventional double bias weight carbon cloth with toughened resins. The outer wrap of the Kaha range on rods 250g and over has changed from a 45 degree 3K carbon to a 45 degree telexium alloy wrap giving a Raptor reptile skin effect while offering extra mid range lift for big fish.
