Tough &
Durable

One good thing about Hypalon
is that they are amongst the
more durable materials used for
rod handles. This makes them
ideal for big game and boat rods
where the rods are left in a rod
holder most of the time and can
take the pressure and abuse
from the rod holder when a giant
of a fish takes the bait.
Thus these days you see Hypalon mainly used on heavy boat
rods or big game rods and almost unseen on bass or snakehead, etc. casting rods. They are
more suited to rods where feel
and weight are less important
such as the above as well as bottom fishing rods that sits in a rod
holder while the anglers waits for
the fish to bite.
