Power Tip
The original Crystal Power Tip has a suggested retail price of $54.14 Australian dollars as of 2010. This fishing rod uses graphite for a lighter weight and a more durable rod. Graphite is composed of carbon, with an adjusted molecular structure to provide superior strength. The inside layer of the rod is composed of fiberglass, which provides for flexibility. According to Rapala Freetime, independent testing has proved that the Silstar produces the strongest fishing rods in existence. The Crystal Power Tip features a three year warranty and a soft handle grip. The rod is coated in epoxy for weatherproofing. The Crystal Power Tip fishing rod comes in lengths between 5 feet 2 inches and 12 feet, so anglers can select the rod which best suits their fishing needs.
