Century – Stealth Graphene Titanium S50 Rod – 12ft Spod & Daiwa Emblem Spod

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Is there a carp rod on the market crammed with as many premium features as the new Century SGR (Stealth Graphene Reinforced). This rod series you get it all in one package, whether it is; Graphene reinforced matrix system, Autoclave Technology, Generation 2 Anti-Twist Technology, Titanium Gunsmoke guides, Ultralight blank in each of its respective test curves.

Graphene Reinforced
Century have developed a bespoke combination of the resin matrix and Graphene. The resin matrix carries the loadings generated on the rod by casting and playing and when fortified by Graphene creates resilience and toughness. When properly incorporated in the resin system it has the capacity to Increase resilience far more effectively than one-dimensional (e.g. nanotube) and zero-dimensional (e.g. nanoparticle) fortifiers so we can make rods lighter with high strength and toughness you expect of a Century carp rod.

Generation 2 Anti-Twist Technology (Gen 2 AT-T)?
The new technology used in the construction of the blank is highly innovative. Using our propriety Graphene material to help create Generation 2 Anti-Twist Technology in the tip section. The Generation 2 AT-T resists this angular acceleration by the insertion of fibres at varying angles within the wall of the rod. The result is a vast increase in resistance to torsional load and overall twisting or cork screwing in the tip section. This is a huge cause of inaccuracy especially when casting longer distances and more often than not the main culprit for poor guide alignment and unwanted increases in line friction.

Guide options
There are two choices of guides with the Stealth rod. At a slightly lower price point we have a lightweight black steel ringing option which again offers a reduction in weight over Century standard steel guides. The Titanium Gunsmoke is our real favourite though and the guide most admired by anglers when choosing this premium rod series. After months of testing we have managed to have our classic Century SiC guides manufactured from PVD coated black Titanium frame which gives them a stunning gun smoke finish and flexes better with the blank during compression and fish playing while saving weight from the rod.

This is the best dedicated spodding reel on the market. Designed around the body and spool of the Emblem Pro the ‘Spod’ retrieves over 100cm of line for every handle turn.

The oversize ABS spool lets line peel off effortlessly and the Tournament line clip cushions even the most powerful of casts. We have included two important features that make life easier.

CastLock ensures that the opened bail stays locked in the correct position during the cast. The second is Auto Cast II where, under the tension from a loaded spod you simply engage the button on the underside of the reel and the rotor will turn and stop at the perfect position for line pick up and bail opening. With four high quality ball bearings including one CRBB combined with worm gear oscillation the Emblem Spod truly is a tough and smooth performer.
