S CONTRIBUTE WITH THEIR PASSION! ASSOCIATED WITH North Fork Composites is Gary Loomis' next generation of rod products. Quality and craftsmanship is what Gary Loomis is known for. Future thinking is the building block of North Fork Composites (NFC), making them one of the leading innovators of “Made in the USA” fishing rod products. Ranging from high modulus (HM), intermediate modulus (IM), standard modulus (SM) rod blanks, to graphite reel seats, and carbon handles, NFC looks to change the industry one item at a time. Founded to deliver carbon fiber tubing for the sporting goods industry (Fishing Rods, Golf Shafts, Arrows, Oar Shafts), NFC continues to be a pioneer in technology and manufacturing techniques. NFC brings nearly 80 years of composite manufacturing experience. We believe that “impossible is possible” and bring that vision to life through our staff and our products. NORTH FORK COMPOSITES INTRO The balance of performance, durability, and weight are crucial when designing rod blanks. These deciding factors of success has enabled NFC to become a trusted partner in composites manufacturing. As a result, our products transcend multiple industries and are used by large companies like Boeing, Google, and our Military. We are proud that thousands of customers put their trust in our products every day and contribute with their passion! 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 5 Technology Overview Throughout the last forty years, NFC has subscribed to one simple formula: “Weight is a deterrent to performance.” From the beginning, Gary Loomis and NFC incorporated the GENERATION 2 (GEN2) formula of materials and manufacturing technology to make blanks and rods. Our GEN2 machinery is designed and manufactured by Gary Loomis, which allows NFC to roll parts at hundreds of PSI above industry standard! Combined with the latest GEN2 graphite technology, this results in parts that are sought after by the finest fishermen, the tech sector, and our military around the world. For many years rod performance was solely focused on modulus, and Gary Loomis is partially to blame. In his never-ending quest for the next development in composites, he would introduce previous models in higher modulus material. Gary Loomis’ competition would try to replicate Gary’s products with their own version of “high modulus.” However, modulus rating is only part of the story! Resin content, type of resin systems used, types or carbon fiber effect the flex, weight, and performance of a rod blank. NFC selects the best material for the application scenario and is proud to offer our GEN2 High Modulus, Intermediate Modulus, and Standard Modulus rod blanks. Our manufacturing philosophy centers around: GEN2 Materials, GEN2 Machinery, GEN2 Manufacturing, and GEN2 Design. All are dependent on one another and support the goal of making a performance fishing rod blank. We take pride in handcrafting all of our blanks in Woodland, Washington USA by artisans that have over 80 years combined in manufacturing experience.

Both families/Teams have had an equally game changing industry impact. Long lasting family ties have enabled both companies to excel in each perspective market. North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises, with their vast knowledge of the industry, seeks to enhance and expand the industry, craft and art of rod building. One thing remains for both companies, they share the same core values on how business should be conducted with INTEGRITY, HONESTY and the WIN VS WIN mentality. The Batson Family/Team is excited about the partnership with North Fork Composites by Gary Loomis to “re-shore” products made in the USA. The partnership is a strategic win for both companies. The availability of products and the management of inventories will ensure the end user is receiving product in a timely manner a definite plus for all rod builders. From the custom rod builder to the OEM, North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises will bring the best product offerings “Made in the USA” to the industry. NORTH FORK COMPOSITES “The Batson team believes it was an inevitable outcome for both companies partnering once again. This is great for the industry and the hundred of thousands it will effect. It is such a great honor and privilege that I do not take lightly and we will do everything to make this venture a success.” Bill Batson - CEO, Batson Enterprises, Inc. HISTORY “This partnership was a culmination of many years of friendship between Gary Loomis and Bob Batson (1947-2003). The relationship started in the mid 90’s when Bob Batson and Gary Loomis partnered on projects for both of their previous endeavors. Bob and Gary had such a great rapport. Gary would send Bob rods to test and vice versa with components. Still to date, Batson Enterprises has prototype or “experimental” rods in the collection from Gary Loomis. Gary and Bob not only had a professional relationship, but personal one as well. Their tremendous knowledge base about the industry evolved into the greatest respect for each other. This is why, together, both North Fork Composites and Batson Enterprises have brought amazing fishing related products in the industry. 6 MADE IN USA NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 7 Hand Crafted in the USA “I have always said that I am not the best fisherman in the world, but good enough to fish with the best and to design a blank that will help them catch more fish. In designing a rod blank, I listen to the fisherman’s wants and needs when it comes to rod blank performance. After information is gathered, the deciding factor is asking one simple question: what do you really want the rod blank to do? Will this rod blank be used with heavy line pulling from deep depths for Tuna? Or are you fishing top water for fish that are jumping and peeling line off your reel like Dorado or Tarpon? Once the questions are answered, I have the beginning design idea for the blank. The industry has been infatuated with modulus, mostly focusing on higher inflated numbers. In some cases, this is good. As long as the design and manufacturing of the high modulus blank work together. In most cases I have felt that the perfect material needs to match the design and performance of a specific rod blank and the way it will be fished. The design of each blank and the intended use determines the material for the blank. Whether it is a blend of modulus materials or one modulus material, the performance is of the utmost.” - GARY LOOMIS passion There is only one good reason for us to make incredible blanks – so that you can make incredible rods for an incredible fishing experiences. Year after year we push the limits of technology, design, and manufacturing to its limits. Gary Loomis has always made products that are disruptive to that status quo. Your passionate fire for the sport is what drives you. Our passion is to ignite that fire within you. Gary has stated, on occasion, that he can design a rod that would never break; but no one would want to fish with a lead pipe. NFC works endlessly with production and engineering staff to insure that the best blank is made without compromising on performance. This is the NFC way. The only route that Gary Loomis approves. NORTH FORK COMPOSITES PASSION NFC stands behind its warranty and blanks it produces. Thus, If our rod blanks are not the best you have ever fished within 30 days, we will send your money back.” - GARY Loomis 8 GEN2 NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 9 GENERATION 2 - GEN2 What is GEN2? GEN2 is Gary Loomis evolving the latest and greatest Materials, Machinery, Manufacturing, and Designs. Gary Loomis redefined the materials and improved the overall construction. The complete process is thoroughly updated to meet the high demands of today’s requirements. The designs of each blank is modernized to excel for the fisherman that’s requiring not only the best of all worlds, but durability to outlast. Machinery, Manufacturing and Processing: NFC understands that the proprietary processing is the key to success. Gary Loomis hand crafts each machine to his specific designs, hand constructing the finest fishing blank. These machine designs, rolling pressures, and assembly processes is what separates these USA made blanks. Experience and knowledge is the pathway to success. Features: High Pressure S-Rolling: NFC designs and manufactures under a proprietary hue to the exclusive designs by Gary Loomis. Custom Cello Tape Tensioning: Seamless wrapping and tensioning over the rod blank is key. Updated machine processing squeezes nearly all air out of the rod blank, as is required for achieving the best quality. Designs: Gary Loomis has the latest innovation of GEN2 designs! These new designs have been updated from his previous models that have been tried and true for many years. Features: Paper Carbon Scrim: Exclusive to the HM GEN2, this not only amplifies sensitivity, but it reduces weight. Integrating carbon in the scrim rather than fiberglass, sensitivity is magnified creating the ultimate feel. You will sense the fish even with the slightest movement on the end of your lure. Cross Ply: Material design layups and material positioning is key. Proprietary and refreshed by Gary Loomis is what makes his USA made blanks stand out. NFC’s GEN2 blanks are the future of USA rod blanks. Materials & technology Our blanks have a soul! Why? GEN2 materials allow for the best possible blank. All models of materials have gone through a vigorous updating. NFC constantly strives for the ultimate performance. It is imperative all materials move through the collective team of experienced personnel. This proficiency has been proven through the thousands of blanks manufactured over the years. Materials are kept in climate controlled environments making every process integral to the success of the overall product. Whether it’s an exclusive unidirectional carbon veil or machinery designed and assembled by Gary Loomis, you can rest assured you are getting NFC’s best. One would say that we are obsessive in making sure that only the best have the NFC stamp of approval. Generation 2 High Pressure s-rolling 2 custom cello tape Tensioning 2 cross ply We don’t follow standards, NFC sets them. Our Standard modulus (SM-GEN2) is beyond standard protocol and is locally sourced in Washington, USA. With large Aerospace companies sourcing similar products, giving us an unparalleled advantage to the knowledge of aerospace spec Toray fiber pre-preg. This material is made to perform in the harshest of environments and will withstand the high demands of the toughest fisheries, while providing the thrill of performance. SM-GEN2 is the perfect balance of ruggedness and reactivity, at the most affordable price. NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 2 Our intermediate modulus (IM-GEN2) is often referred to as “high modulus” by other manufacturers. This durable yet sensitive aerospace Toray carbon fiber offers the best of both worlds. Combining the resilience of the Standard Modulus (SM-GEN2), and drawing on the sensitivity of HM-GEN2 this material is one of our top choices. To start, premium Toray fiber is combined with a proprietary resin system with a unique design spec to drive IM-GEN2. This is quickly becoming the preferred choice due to the perfect balance of weight, performance, and affordability. MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGY paper carbon scrim Our high modulus GEN2 material is one of the lightest, most sensitive materials available in the industry today. Our HM-GEN2 is a proprietary blend of pure aerospace grade Toray carbon fiber with paper carbon scrim (PCS) that is set to astound you. This is due to the intricate configurations (up to 15 pieces in one pattern) to create the ultimate sensitive and light blank. Weight is a deterrent to performance, and this material is performance minded. When feel and weight is the demand, our HM-GEN2 delivers! 10 TESTING NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 11 Testing Our testing process is critical to our success and starts with every raw material shipment. Consistency of raw materials (“pre-preg”) is so critical that EVERY material shipment must exceed rigorous testing and pass our standards. Gary Loomis has kept this unchanged for more than 40 years. NFC’s bar for quality is set extremely high. Thus, our process involves breaking a percentage of blanks within every batch and recording the results. The results from the break test gauges whether or not the pre-preg matches our demands. Years of data allows us to update and compare our breaking standards. Maintaining this extensive library of materials catalog, along with a section of every roll of Toray is one of the many reasons we are so successful. NFC compares the years of data to find any discrepancies. If any data is not correct, samples can be forwarded to the supplier to correct the material. This is just one sample of the strict standards we set. This assures all blanks are made consistently from year to year. Results The secret to having an industry low warranty return rate on blanks is controlling as many variables as possible. All processes from room temperature, tape tension, cure cycles, etc. is crucial to making the perfect blank. 100% of our blanks are tested at different stages of our process. Batch testing blanks as they flow through to inventory allows you, as the customer, to receive the very best from NFC. We understand how unsettling it can be when a rod blank fails due to manufacturing defects. NFC makes every effort to single out any defects in blank production from start to finish. As the result, NFC received thousands of pictures of rods on blanks built by Gary Loomis twenty years ago requesting nothing more than a cork touch-up after “modest use”. ACTION Action refers to the way a blank initially flexes under load. A fast action blank flexes more towards the tip, a moderate action blank flexes more into the mid-section, and a slow action blank flexes fully into the butt of the blank. Many blanks also fall into the “in-between” categories such as “moderate fast.” Understanding the actions of our blanks and picking the right blank for the job at hand is vital. BLANK ACTION TABLE CODE XF F MED-F MOD-F M S DESCRIPTION EXTRA FAST FAST MEDIUM FAST MODERATE FAST MODERATE SLOW Please refer to the table shown to correctly match your fishing technique to the best action. If ever in doubt, give us a call and we would be happy to assist. NORTH FORK COMPOSITES Power is measured by the backbone needed in the blank. The more effort it takes to bend a blank, or a section of the blank, the more powerful it is. NFC power ratings are relative. The power ratings within each category of spinning, casting, or saltwater blanks are related to the other blanks within that specific category. NFC uses both a description of power (ex: MediumLight) and a specific number (ex:. 3) for the power rating for each blank.

I love the challenge when it comes to designing rod blanks for the most discerning of fishermen that continually push boundaries.” - Gary Loomis, Chairman, Head of Design. RAINSHADOW ROD BLANK TECHNOLOGY 15 HIGH MODULUS BLANKS NORTH FORK COMPOSITES 15 2 BASS AND FRESHWATER ROD BLANKS The HM-GEN2 rod blanks are the lightest, smoothest casting, and, we believe, are the most sensitive blanks manufactured in the U.S.A. Just how good are they? In some cases these blanks are up to 50% lighter than comparable rod blanks. Our extensive Pro Staff of professional guides, fishing publications and hardcore anglers alike agree that these blanks have no equal. Using HM-GEN2 as the engine for your rod, you can instantly feel the smoothness of the cast. When fishing for bass, or other freshwater species, we incorporate a progressive taper design for maximum cast-ability. In this series we have also integrated an ultra-fine diameter tip for easy loading at short distances. The paper carbon scrim (PCS) that delivers lightness and super strength. Finally the modulus design blends are added to further reduce the weight and increase the speed of recovery of these HM-GEN2 blanks.

Our IM-GEN2 has evolved from the original design and has started yet again, uproar. The IM-GEN2 graphite brand is able to insight a “snapshot” of what the lure is doing every inch of your retrieve. Every bump, rock, weed, and strike is transferred directly into your hands. Even the most subtle movement will feel like your bait is being sucked into a jet engine! Distance is another key factor to these rod blanks. They are designed for thousands of casts without a hangover for your arm in the morning. Accuracy is singled out. NFC’s IM-GEN2 rod blank tips are designed to resist side to side torque. These blanks show no mercy when setting the hook or flippin’ a fish into the boat. You will feel in control from the hook set to the victorious end.
