Century Fireblade Rod

Description

Century Fireblade 14ft 4-7oz Surf Rod is an all-round beach rod designed to handle the fish and conditions found on most UK beaches. Made by Century in their UK factory, it blends carbon and glass to create a rod that is easy to use and delivers the casting and fishing performance expected from a Century rod. The two-piece blank has a rapid recovery tip that works well with a range of casting styles, including OTG and the fishing pendulum. Century received very positive feedback from customers using the 13ft Fireblade around the British Isles, alongside numerous requests for a longer version in the Fireblade series. Design work on a 14ft iteration began in late 2021, followed by a lengthy testing period, and the 14ft Fireblade has now been launched. It looks and feels a lot like the 13ft model, but the extra length gives a higher trajectory in the cast and more rod to store up and release that energy. The slim blank has uniform aesthetics to the shorter model with ATC black Delta guides, Century metal bands, a Fuji sliding DPS reel seat, EVA moveable collars, and premium Japanese shrink wrap. The tip is carbon and provides great bite detection, picking up small rattles. The rod has plenty of power in the blank, should you wish to target larger fish, and offers a lot of versatility. The Fireblade 14ft has been designed and manufactured in the UK to ensure key elements in quality, materials, processing, performance, and reliability are controlled in Century's own factory. The Fireblade series incorporates several technical benefits: - Proprietary carbon/glass fibre and resin composites developed from extensive experience in sea angling and 20 years of experience in creating World Record distance rods. - Advanced carbon fibre cutting and positioning of ply laminates coupled with optimised manufacturing techniques including curing in a computer controlled composite oven. - Accurate fibre placement to allow efficient energy delivering in an easy loading rod with quick recovery. The Fireblade rods suit someone interested in an entry level top end rod brand where the budget does not yet stretch to specialist models in the Century sea lineup. The Century name stands for performance, proven by a 40+ year UK manufacturing history, and the latest 14ft Fireblade will not disappoint new owners.
