The Science

NITINOL [nī-te-nawl]

A metal alloy of nickel and titanium - designed by the Naval Ordinance Laboratory for use in aerospace

Nitinol exhibits two closely related and unique properties

Shape Memory
Super-Elasticity

Nitinol is more resilient, elastic, and flexible than other metals or alloys

RASA harnessed these properties to bring you the ultimate fishing rod

RASA incorporated Nitinol into the tip of the optimal carbon fiber rod

Amplified bite sensitivity
Increased casting distance
Realigned flex point for increased fish fighting power
Enhanced durability to expand the life of the rod

NITINOL tech

Carbon Fiber Handle Design

Ergonomic split grip amplifies sensitivity and sharpens control

Carbon Fiber Fore Grip

Surface weave - improves grip while boosting water shedding
Lightweight Build - cuts fatigue and balances the rod
Hydrophobic properties - maintains a friction free - non slip surface

Torzite guides

[ tôr'-zīt ]: a high density, ultra light ceramic material

Ultra smooth - low friction finish with premium line GLIDE
Ultra durability - superior fracture and groove resistance
Ultra lightweight - tensile strength yields wider openings in smaller guides

titanium guides

Titanium Alloy - exceptional strength to weight ratio
Corrosion resistant to environmental exposures
High flexibility contributes to extended durability

Carbon Fiber Reel Seat

Designed to conform to your hand
Delivers the utmost sensation of the bite
Provides ultra grip traction through the non-slip surface

Rasa custom guide system Engineered And Aligned For Optimal Efficiency

A Novel System with perfect harmony
