Century Carbon Metal BB Factory Built Rec. Retail Price Ł261.95 BB signifies “BlackBird” – (Danny asked if we could and named after the legendary Lockheed S71 fast, long range strategic aircraft!) - is a well thought out progression of an existing principal - originally favoured by Continental anglers. Longer rods for lighter line fishing to cast big distances “at a stroke” The BB reduces the need to develop advanced casting styles and can help deliver considerable extra distance without changing from the most common overhead casting styles. It is thus easier to upgrade from rods where the angler has already developed certain skills and just wants get down to the serious business of fishing. We have worked extensively on the design of BB and in the process achieved a World Record cast of 229m using fixed spool reel.Global warming and commercial over fishing are driving traditional fish stocks away from existing habitats towards deeper and cooler waters. This has influenced our design thinking and we are looking to satisfy enthusiastic shore anglers who wish to pursue their sport under these changing conditions. Species such as pout, sea bass, John Dory and red mullet are increasingly populating more northerly latitudes and this presents new opportunities for dedicated designs like the Carbon Metal BB. We have received positive feedback on BB’s power to weight ratio and this benefit inevitably assists the roving angler.The BB is highly effective using fixed spool or multiplier reels. We recommend 6lb - 10lb lines on fixed spool and 10 - 20lb lines on multiplier. (use fingerstalls on fixed spool) Blank Colour: AL2/Carbon Factory Finish: Century SiC Casting Ratio: 3-6oz 100-175gm Butt Diameter: Tapered Length: 15’ (4.60m)Equal section - tip and butt Japanese shrink rubber handle Supplied complete with Century sliding reel seat with integrated Coaster and Century rod case
Century Carbon Metal Express Factory Built Rec. Retail Price Ł285.10 The CM Express is an alternative development of the CM that has been refined at UKSF and CIPS World Championships, taking a new fixed spool reel - World Record in the process. (100gram - 0.28mm line - distance 225m) Barney Wright a leading UKSF caster and sea angler has a recorded cast of 239 metres on 125 gram weight at UKSF using Multiplier reel and has used the rod extensively for his fishing. One of the primary aspects he likes is the parabolic C curve the rod proscribes when fully compressed rather than the J curve of faster actions. This means that it is less critical on timing and release of the cast. Bite detection is superb and the rod tip is stable in stormy conditions. The CME reduces tiredness and can be repetitively cast without strain and has received exemplary reviews by knowledgeable anglers and casters. Blank Colour: AL2/Carbon Butt: 78” (1.98m) Factory Finish: Century SiC Casting Ratio: 4-6oz 125-175gm Butt Diameter: Tapered Length: 13’10” (4.22m) Tip: 90” (2.29m) Japanese shrink rubber handle Supplied complete with Century sliding reel seat with integrated Coaster and Century rod case
Century Carbon Metal Factory Built Retail Price Ł264.55 The Century C M (Carbon Metal) has surprised everyone who has tried it. The rod picks up the bait and propels it at great velocity via all casting stylesand the tip recovers instantly ready to read the smallest bites or the hardesttake. The clever tapers both in the mandrel and carbon metal fibres createpower bands that alter the action to suit the venue and prey species. Cod, Pollack,tope, conger, mullet and bass have all fallen to the CM during its 18 month development, which has taken it to the depths of Loch Fyne, the rocks of Tynemouth and the smooth beaches of North West. Built with the toughness of AutoClaving and new advanced materials at a sensational price.
Century Carbon Metal SRE (Sea River Estuary) (5.00m) Factory Built Rec. Retail Price Ł301.30 Century has spent over a year working with Danny Moeskops - World Casting Champion - leading Continental sea angler - designing Carbon Metal SRE. It is a well thought out improvement of an existing principal - originally favoured by Continental anglers. Century Carbon Metals have established an outstanding track record with sea anglers and although these new SRE's are a departure from OTG and Pendulum style casting rods - the distances available to overhead casters is substantial. Danny Moeskops has introduced several innovative ultra high modulus carbon fibre "accelerators" into the design to give high tip speed without the need to pre compress the tip before releasing energy stored in the butt. The bite detection from little rattles by small flatfish and slack liner bites are more than obvious. The rod forms a perfect C curve when under compression. The 3 section SRE is for lighter fishing conditions and clearly does not have the huge hauling capability of the big Kompressors. This is reflected in the recommended line sizes of 6lb to 8lb or heavy lines (12 - 20lb) when using lighter snoods. Variable reel positions on the butt are available using the Century winch fitting with SS Coaster. Light and easy to use at 5.00m and also available at 4.60m for less powerful casters. SRE 4.60m has staggered butt and same middle and tip as 5.00m Blank Colour: AL2/Carbon Factory Finish: Century SiC Casting Ratio: 4-6oz 125-175gm Butt Diameter: Tapered Length: 16’5" (5.00m) 3 equal section - 5.00m and staggered butt for 4.60m Japanese shrink rubber handle Supplied complete with Century sliding reel seat with integrated Coaster and Century rod case
Century Ccc Factory Built Rec. Retail Ł230.00 The Ccc is built on a 7/8" mandrel and the outside diameter is just over 1" (26mm). The action of the rod is designed to prescribe a curve that looks like a letter C when under full compression but the tip recovery is very quick. This accelerates the lead and bait to greater distance when pure fishing time over rides the need to spend months perfecting advanced casting skills. The prototypes and design feedback has all been through Danny Moeskop's hands and as you would expect from a man of his experience - his seal of approval means that you are assured of a competent fishing tool. The overall weight of Ccc is 750 grams (26 ľ ozs) including the special Century reel seat and stainless coaster. It feels very light in the hand and balances well. We have applied Autoclave Technology for long term durability and action retention. The Ccc is built using this same advanced system that has helped create world casting records. This design is very much focused at match anglers who need distance and occasionally need to put out 175 gram lead plus bait. The Ccc's are very capable on mixed ground - pebble beaches with occasional weed beds and boulders. Great for venues such as Holderness, Isle of Man and beaches of southern Ireland. In fact anywhere where conditions are not too severe. Typically for use with lines of 0.28 to 0.35mm. Much of the development phase for the Ccc's was completed by Danny at Pwllheli beach on Llyn Peninsular -Wales. These rods are quite capable of bringing in treble shots of smuts (dogfish). They have also proven very effective when encountering smooth hound and fast running tope. The Ccc has the familiar Century cabon metallic look on the butt section with a very slight Artic blue tint built into the weave. The Ccc comes with the Century adjustable reel seat and reducer for low reel position. The highly adaptable Century reel seat locates the reel in any position on the butt. The EVA caps slide with the fitting to prvent the ingress of sand and debris. The joint is a reverse fit and precision ground for years of use. A hand gripof Japanese shrink rubber gives additional purchase when inserting and disassembling the rod. The Ccc is supplied with a custom rod case. Technical specification Ccc Factory Finish: Fuji BNHG guides Casting Ratio: 4-7oz (125-200gm) Length: 13' (3.96m) Butt Diameter: 1 ” (2.54cm)Butt: 74” (1.88m)Tip: 82 ” (2.08m)
Century Ccc LD Factory Built Rec Retail 230.00 The Ccc LD is the partner to Ccc and very similar in style and action. The principal difference is diameter hence LD - Low Diameter. The C3 LD is based on a 3/4" mandrel and the outside diameter is 7/8" (22mm). The action of the rod is very similar to Ccc and designed to produce a curve that looks like a letter C when under full compression. The tip recovery is very quick and accelerates the lead and bait to greater distance when pure fishing time over rides the need to spend months perfecting advanced casting skills. The prototypes and design feedback has all been through Danny Moeskop's hands and as you would expect from a man of his experience - his seal of approval means that you are assured of a very competent fishing tool. The rod diameter can have a significant impact on which model to use according to your personal hand size and preference. The overall weight of Ccc LD is 750 grams (26 ľ ozs) including the special Century reel seat and stainless coaster. It feels very light in the hand and balances well.
