Century 7' 3" HPR (3.5 - 25g) - Staggered Tip (ST) - £337.00
This is best suited to Texas rigging, weightless worm and presentations in clean to fairly heavy ground across a wide weight and line range. It will handle plugs to the rated specification with ease but is more in tune with crank-baits rod and minnow's up to around 145mm. It has incredible balance that will work with reels in the 2000 – 3000 without modification and can handle pitching, flipping and overhead casting styles with ease. The rods are counter balanced with the fulcrum point based around the reel stem or, just in front. This is the do it all rod for Bass, Wrasse and a multitude of species from boat, kayak, skishing (wetsuit fishing) and shore.
The Staggered tip is recommended for Kayak and Boat where the mid section spigot is removed from the equation. 7-3" was designed to move the right amount of line on a strike, move around the bow and stern of a kayak and to give enough tip out of the water when skishing.
Bite detection is electric and the power in the rod completely seamless no matter the fish size. Bass to over 10lb and wrasse to over 6lb have been taken on this model.

Century has been at the forefront of marine rod design for over 25 years and their rod manufacturing base in UK is one of the most advanced in the world. Please find below more detials on this rod and Century's High Permance Resin (HPR).
High Performance Resin (HPR)
High Performance Resin (HPR) has been created by Century through the combination of 3M's™ patented resin matrix technology and Century's own carefully selected grades and types of carbon fibre. This fusion of technologys has enabled Century to create an exceptional blank with the following benefits:
• A significant increase in the rod’s compression strength by resisting micro-buckling, delivering improved hoop and flexural strength. The result is up to a 35% stronger rod whilst maintaining the most desirable action and flex. This means more pressure can be applied with confidence both in casting and control of the battle curve.
• A radical improvement in the resin’s adhesive bond between the carbon fibres and thus an increase in the internal shear strength of the rod.
• The new system is almost twice as hard as conventional resins when fully cured and better resists small surface scuffs and knocks.
• The rod’s moment of inertia (MOI) can be controlled to best advantage by intelligent distribution of composite biased towards the lower part of the rod. This reduces fatigue and improves control of the casting stroke and playing action.
