The Harrison Ballista is a design classic. Like an air-cooled Porsche, it delivers the benchmark in performance and bullet proof build quality. When we introduced it, everyone else was making Carp rods with spigot joints. All the other Carp fishing rods seemed heavy and big in diameter. The tips of the other rods were thick, and unwilling to bend to the strain of a fish. Other rods were made in the same fibers from tip to butt, unlike our multi modulus approach to design. Kevlar was still being pushed as a wonder material, and others were flirting with Dyneema and Boron. Today, many of our competitors have followed the lead we made with Ballista, some even cynically and unashamedly copying our tapers. But, that's not a problem, as "He who aims to keep abreast, is forever second best" Piet Hein. That is why, in 2006 we are still selling them like hot cakes! So let us recap on what makes Ballistas a firm favorite across Europe.
