Crafted by Century, a manufacturer renowned for its advanced carbon blank technology, this rod is an evolution of their popular Excalibur Braid series. Its purpose-built for modern boat fishing techniques, especially those that utilize braided lines. Core Design Principles and Features Three-Zone Blank Action: The rods blank is its most defining feature, engineered with a unique three-zone principle to optimize performance with braid. Supple Tip: The very sensitive tip section is designed to cushion the non-elastic properties of braided line, protecting lighter hook holds from pulling out. It also provides exceptional bite detection, allowing the angler to feel every movement and tap. Progressive Mid-Section: This zone develops power progressively, offering a subtle increase in stiffness that provides the angler with precise control over the fish during the main lift and fight. Powerful Butt Section: The final zone of the rod delivers immense leverage and backbone, giving the angler the power needed to stop a large specimen from diving for cover or to lift a stubborn fish from the seabed. Advanced Carbon Technology: Century utilizes a multi-modulus carbon construction with an advanced HPR resin system. The blank is cured in an autoclave, a process that ensures the material is fully consolidated and the rods action is retained for life. Anti-Twist Technology (AT-T): This specialized blank construction actively reduces blank twist during the fight, particularly important when using braid. It ensures the rods power is transferred efficiently and the line remains controlled, improving casting and fighting performance. Textreme Blank Finish: The blank features a high-quality Textreme finish, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also adds to the rods durability. High-End Componentry: The rod is fitted with premium components chosen to complement its high-performance blank. Guides: It features Titanium double-leg K guides, designed specifically for use with braided lines. The guide spacing is carefully considered for smooth line flow under pressure. Reel Seat: A Fuji DPS Black 20 reel seat provides a secure and corrosion-resistant platform for your reel. Handle: The handle is a hybrid system combining Japanese shrink rubber (JSR) joint grips and a lower handle with a shaped EVA upper grip for enhanced braid control.
