Kudos to the ladies, especially your mum, bless her memory.
It's not for me to question the site ethos, but carbon fibre has been around since 1860.
Some of the first must be getting on for forty years old now, and there are untold tales of misadventures with the early ones to entertain. I still remember the look of shock on my brother's face when his Shakespeare rod just snapped after he cast out, right at the part where the rod met the handle.
I had a Maver Abyss, a 9ft wand type if memory serves, major poverty forced its sale. Still rankles.
