  • Carbon fiber outrigger
    Patent number: 6889467
    Abstract: The instant invention proposes to utilize a multi-ply composite tubular structure of fibers and a polymer matrix to construct superior outriggers that do not require cable truss systems for support. By utilizing the aforementioned materials, the thickness and flex characteristics of the outrigger can be tailored and controlled. The combination of utilizing a non-circular cross section, an ellipse for example, allows the bending stiffness in the fore-aft and lateral planes to be tailored individually for optimum outrigger performance. The separate control of the bi-directional bending properties will allow a much higher control of fishing baits during trolling.
