TELESCOPIC WHIPS<br />
TELESCOPIC WHIPS<br />
TELESCOPIC WHIPS<br />
It’s the simplest and oldest type of fishing rod,<br />
faithful companion in the early experiences and<br />
strong ally in the competitions, which has no limits<br />
of use from fresh to salt waters, in Italy and around<br />
the world. Despite everybody talk about pole as first<br />
lady of match fishing scene, in 2015 the humble<br />
whip brought to Gianluigi Sorti another World title,<br />
confirming its consistent actuality and its extreme<br />
effectiveness. But it is thanks to the <strong>Trabucco</strong>’s<br />
creativity and technology that today we can fish<br />
with a wonderful rod, because the exclusive<br />
Energhia Pro XR is no longer a normal whip, but<br />
a tool that comes out of the tradition to offer a lot<br />
more and be talked about itself as never before.<br />

ENERGHIA XR PRO POLE<br />
Beautiful whips displaying lots of genuine versatility: they can switch from bleak fishing<br />
to more challenging fights with stunning ease. The reaction to impulse is quite fast,<br />
but under load the rod bends harmoniously, allowing the use of thin hooklinks in case<br />
of need. It’s a merit of <strong>Trabucco</strong> X-Joint technology, which improves the joint’s construction<br />
to give them an extraordinary flexibility: the rod draws an impeccable action<br />
curve, is stronger than the norm and the residual oscillations at the end of the cast are<br />
quite limited. At the base of the male joints, a special band milling prevents formation<br />
of vacuum in presence of humidity, avoiding the section’s accidental locking. Each rod<br />
is supplied with a special rolling connector, which can be applied to the tip to ease the<br />
line’s link; the body of the device rotates freely around its axis, actually dropping the risk<br />
of line overlapping on tip section. Finally, a practical Velcro band allows to fix the winder<br />
to butt section, when carrying it with the rig already fitted.<br />

FEATURES<br />
It’s well known that all joints connecting<br />
rod’s sections are weak points, both from<br />
strength and action’s point of view, as they<br />
cause those “dead spots” which are risky<br />
in term of breakage, beyond the bad looking.<br />
The solution is hidden in the X-JOINT<br />
technology, which means that - on joints<br />
area - carbon cloths are laid by 45° angle<br />
instead of 90°.<br />
In the rods produced with the computer assistance,<br />
the joint’s precision is so high that, when<br />
they are wet, it is possible to form the vacuum,<br />
resulting in very tight section’s locking. The problem<br />
is prevented by creating thin air chambers<br />
through cross bands milled on the male side of<br />
each joint, and this is one of the new technology<br />
specifications that enrich Energhia XR Pro.<br />
ENERGHIA 2K EXTREME<br />
Brand new series of telepole rods built in CX-2 super high modulus carbon, designed<br />
for high level competition. The blank of these rods is incredibly slim (we mean REALLY<br />
slim: 22.7 mm for the 8 meters model) and highly performing, while the tip section is<br />
tubular and not spliced. The blank is perfectly balanced, and it is possible to fish for<br />
hours without any problem. We do believe to have achieved the best production possible<br />
with the technology available nowadays.<br />
TRADITIONAL REINFORCEMENT<br />
• Stress is concentrated at both ends<br />
• Dead spots, risk of breakage<br />
45° REINFORCEMENT (X-JOINT)<br />
• Stress is dispersed along the blank<br />
• Perfect curve, no breakage risk<br />

• Perfect curve, without dead spots.<br />
• Unique coexistence of flexibility and<br />
stiffness<br />
• Higher structural strength, because stress<br />
is dispersed through the blank, instead of<br />
being concentrated on joint’s ends.<br />
• Less oscillations at the end of casting,<br />
which means quicker re-alignment of<br />
guides.<br />
Within X-Joint by <strong>Trabucco</strong>, the carbon<br />
cloth is wound by two directions, and such<br />
construction is visible on top end of each<br />
section.<br />

THE FANTASTIC ROLLING CONNECTOR<br />
Each Energhia Pro XR rod comes with a special<br />
line connector, to be glued on top tip, that eliminates<br />
line tangles thanks to a rotating device,<br />
similar to a microscopic swivel, which is connected<br />
to a string that ends with a slight head.<br />
The weight of such connector is absolutely irrelevant,<br />
but its benefits can be immediately seen.<br />
THE VELCRO BAND<br />
The swivelling connector<br />
enables to link the rig<br />
without tangle risk.<br />
(to be glued on tip top)<br />
HOW TO CONNECT THE RIG LINE<br />
1. Make two loops on top of the rig line;<br />
one large, the other fairly small.<br />
2. Wrap the main loop around the tip string<br />
and tighten it.<br />
3. To remove the rig, simply pull the small<br />
loop and it will be released.<br />

The carbon fibers oriented<br />
along the longitudinal<br />
rod’s axis (0° unidirectional<br />
carbon) provide<br />
great resistance to linear<br />
traction.<br />
The carbon fibers oriented<br />
at 90° to longitudinal<br />
rod’s axis enable the cross<br />
section to resist the compression<br />
caused by strong<br />
flexion.<br />
The X-Joint carbon fibers,<br />
oriented at ±45° to rod’s<br />
axis, are able to absorb and<br />
disperse the torque, improving<br />
the joint’s performance and<br />
saving the rest of the section.<br />
A light Velcro band, supplied with the<br />
rod, enables to fix the rig’s winder to<br />
the butt, when it’s stored in the holdall<br />
with the rig on.<br />
