About North Fork Composite X-Ray Blanks
Our newest material, HMx-ray, is the latest edition to the NFC material family. HM because it’s the highest modulus currently available, x-ray because just like an x-ray machine helps you see things you normally would not, you can feel the slightest vibration with these blanks. These are the lightest, strongest blanks that we have ever manufactured.
· HMx-ray is 20% lighter than our existing HM (which is already insanely light!)
· HMx-ray is more sensitive, and while we understand that “sensitivity” is subjective, it feels like you are receiving a shock through the arm, the ultimate aim is to allow you to “see” underwater.
· The HMx-ray comes with an un-sanded, flat matte-black finish, almost pear-like. Sanding blanks makes them softer, the action of these blanks is crisp.
· The resin in these blanks is specifically developed for the fishing industry and stops crack-propagation (even if you impact the blank and create a microfracture which would normally result in failure down the road, this amazing resin resists to continuing to crack, extending the life of the blank.
· HMx-ray is a scrim-less material, hoop is obtained by a very fine fiber slit into the other. This construction with a high modulus fiber allows the creation of an equal stiffness part, with less material.

First thing I can say about the reason I love this rod is, the lite and non wrist fatigue in this rod is to die for.. Second is the sensitive and fast action the tip has, lets you know bite from bottom!! Third and final is in the making of this rod I know it was made with love and perfection. I would give 5 thumbs up if I had them but I give 2 and recommend it to all thank you very much Leviathan!!

This is an amazing rod I have used for many techniques. It’s pretty versatile for fishing heavier baits. Biggest bass to date for me on this rod is 9.01 lbs which sealed a first place finish and big bass of the tournament. I have had luck using it from 1′ of water all the way out to 30′ and anything from light punching to football jigs and Carolina rigging.

Great rod for flipping, but it also covers many techniques for me during the year. After the flipping bite is done and the fish move out to deeper water it makes a great fb jig rod or even for 5-6″ hollow swimbaits. This rod has held up great for me and I cant wait for my next leviathan rod to show up on my door step.
