Hi all
After doing some Google research I found out the difference between the Fox FX blanks (2 & 3k carbon) and the rod that replaced it - Fox Duo lite (1 & 2k carbon)
So can anyone tell me which type of carbon is better for rod blanks?
Also I found out you can get 6, 9, 12 & 24k carbon fiber!
Regards Wayne
Ps my Harrison Chirmera is 3k & 1k weave!

. Isn’t the *k value to do with the tightness of the weave pattern to give various actions in the blank. I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think it’s a case of one being better than another

By best, I mean it is difficult to manufacture, and more expensive. And smaller k normally means lighter blank.
