heres a little gross overall view on the topic of nanotechnology. i found it interesting. the advancements of rods in the future sounds very promising. I know the offshore guys already utilize a lot of this technology in the parabolic jigging rods made for offshore big game fishing. Its amazing how light and strong some of the rods are for offshore use that will withstand 30 pounds of dead wieght hung off the end...
