Century stealth graphene spod 12ft titanium

Following on from the much-loved Century 13ft C2-D Spod and Marker rods, these new high-performance, premium-quality application rods are designed to complement the SGR carp rod range in terms of aesthetics and performance in the ever-popular 12ft length. As carp anglers, when fishing long distances, we need application rods that are capable of performing at the same level as our usual fishing rods, with a particular focus on producing comparable feel and action to minimize the need for constant adaptations of casting technique from one rod to another. Century Stealth Graphene Reinforced Spod and Marker rods come as standard with a Century Stealth Titanium SiC 50mm leader, black Stealth laser-engraved reel seat and butt, discreet gunmetal-grey leaders and black main leader tips to match the livery used on SGR carp rods. The complete combination of carp rods and matching application rods will undoubtedly be the ultimate in carp fishing. Whether you're looking for lightness, good looks, long-range casts, top-quality materials or simply the certainty that the rods you own are unrivalled by other anglers, the Century Stealth Graphene Reinforced range is sure to tick every conceivable box. Century has been at the top of the international casting scene for over twenty years, and our rods are used by the latest world casting champions as they were by a generation of previous champions, alongside some of the world's best and most respected anglers. That's why Century constantly receives feedback from top players, linking technology to performance. Top anglers and extreme rod casters are always encouraged to provide us with a constant stream of suggestions and directions, both in design and production at our UK-based blank manufacturing facility. Century then uses this vital feedback to strive for constant product improvement. This thorough and meticulous process of consultation, design and manufacture is an essential element that sets Century even further apart from the crowd. The SGR Spod and Marker rods are both complex and futuristic in design. The resin matrix is reinforced with graphene to achieve strength and lightness never before seen in a fishing rod of any kind, autoclaved to resist test curve degradation and aided by new advances in anti-twist design to ensure the directional control and accuracy of the SGR Marker and Spod assembly. The diameter of the SGR Spod just above the reel seat is 17mm and on the SGR Marker it's thinner at just 14mm. This smaller diameter makes the Marker not only more aesthetically appealing, but also slightly easier to compress than previous Century Marker rods. The butt loads easily and smoothly while delivering a combination of 4-5oz of lead and floating marker over long distances when required. The tip of the SGR Marker rod is specially designed to be incredibly responsive, aiding retrieve and detection of topography changes and the "feel" of the changing nature of natural elements when "contouring" and casting with floats. The SGR Spod has the more powerful butt of the two rods, ensuring ease of use and peace of mind with medium to large rockets, spods or Spombs when dispensing baits from a distance. Based on our tests, we recommend the use of a well-loaded medium-sized Spomb for optimum overall distance and effective bait distribution at longer distances. Century has also fitted these rods with our PVD gunmetal-coated 50mm Stealth titanium guides and lightweight aluminium fittings to keep overall weight to a minimum. The repetitive and often physically demanding nature of dispensing large baitbeds from a distance dictates that the substantial weight reduction this rod possesses is nothing short of essential for any successful carp angler, leaving us confident that our anglers will appreciate this overall weight saving unmatched by any other spod rod currently available on the market. In short, the Century SGR Spod and Marker Set is the perfect, no-compromise addition to your arsenal, whether to complement your existing Century SGR carp rods or simply for those seeking the very best in modern rods for feature-finding and bait application today.
