They’d better be really bright or that new rod is going to be sundered cleanly in your car door.

Singlebarbed is used to nano-technology, most of our fish defy measurement in integer numbers, so we’ve used nano-terminology to make them sound really big.

The rest of you had better crack the science books, as the next big material in rod construction may have its roots in nano-science.

This effect, coupled with the arrangement of the nanosheets in a brick-and-mortar structure, make the final product (as thick as a piece of plastic wrap) very strong. The developers say that the product could be widely available in a relatively short period of time.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a plastic stronger than steel using nano-building blocks. It may even be strong enough to resist them big feet of your partially inebriated fishing buddy, details are still sketchy.

Only two certainties we can count on; your spouse will balk when you insist you need one, and somewhere in the process the “nano” will be replaced by “mortgage busting credit killer” on the price tag.
