Century Eliminator T900-SGT Rod

Description

The Century Eliminator T900-SGT is a 14ft 4in shore rod built for power and sensitivity in equal measure. It is designed for demanding UK shore conditions — deep water, heavy-to-mixed ground and the fierce tidal currents found at venues such as the Bristol Channel or the Mersey — and is aimed at specimen hunters targeting double-figure cod, halibut and large rays. What sets the T900-SGT apart is its SGT (Super Glass-Carbon) technology. The butt and mid-section are built for raw distance and winching power, while the spliced-in S-2 unidirectional Super Glass tip provides high-definition bite detection. That combination lets you spot the tiny rattles of a dab or the subtle pull of a wary codling even while the rod is under the pressure of a racing tide. - Length: 14ft 4in (4.35m) - Casting Weight: 4oz – 7oz (125g – 200g) - Sections: 2 Equal Sections - Butt Diameter: 23.9mm - Blank Construction: High-modulus Carbon with Formula 1 Spread Tow Fabric (STF) - Tip Technology: S-2 Unidirectional Super Glass (SGT) Spliced Tip - Guides: American Tackle Titanium Anti-Tangle K Guides - Reel Seat: Fuji DPS Sliding Reel Seat - Handle: Full Japanese Shrink Rubber (JSR) Formula 1 STF and AT-T: The butt section features Spread Tow Fabric (STF), a material used in F1 chassis for its strength-to-weight ratio. Combined with Anti-Twist Technology (AT-T), it keeps the blank stable under the torque of a power cast, ensuring accurate delivery. Super Glass (SGT) Tip: The spliced S-2 glass tip offers tensile strength and impact resistance. Unlike carbon tips, it cushions the bounce of a heavy sea while telegraphing every bite directly to the angler. Autoclave Technology: Century's curing process ensures total resin consolidation. This prevents the rod from losing its snap or test curve over time, maintaining its original performance for the life of the rod. Titanium K Guides: These ultra-light, corrosion-proof guides are whipped in metallic blue and gold. Their anti-tangle frame design helps prevent frap-ups when using modern braided lines or during high-power casts. - Rough Ground and Kelp: The T900-SGT has the lifting power to bully large fish out of jungle terrain before they can snag you. - Fast Tidal Streams: Engineered to hold position in heavy flow without folding, making it ideal for deep-water estuaries. - Specimen Hunting: Suited to the angler who needs a single rod that can deliver a 7oz lead and a large bait to extreme distances while maintaining the sensitivity to see every knock. The rod is easy to load despite its reputation for power. Whether you use a simple overhead thump or a more technical off-the-ground cast, the Gearbox butt section engages smoothly. Because it features a Fuji DPS sliding reel seat, you can adjust your reel position mid-session — move it up for power casting or down for a more comfortable fishing position. For night fishing, the 3M reflective tape near the top guides is exceptionally bright, making slack-line takes unmistakable.
