Century Graphex Lure Rod

Description

The Century Graphex Lure Rod 9ft 6in 10-40g is a high-performance spinning rod designed and manufactured in the UK. Unlike Century's well-known beachcasting rods, this model is specifically tailored for modern lure fishing, particularly for species like sea bass, but with enough versatility for a wide range of applications. It brings Century's top-tier blank technology to the lure fishing market. The Graphex Lure Rod incorporates several of Century's most advanced material and manufacturing technologies to create a lightweight, powerful, and sensitive rod: - Graphene Reinforced Resin Matrix: the rod blank is built with a resin matrix reinforced with Graphene, a material that significantly enhances the blank's strength, durability, and resilience without adding weight, allowing a very light blank with an incredible power-to-weight ratio. - Autoclave Technology: the blank is cured under high heat and pressure, consolidating the resin matrix into a denser, more uniform structure that enhances overall performance, sensitivity, and longevity. - Spread Tow Fabric (STF) and Anti-Twist Tip (AT-T): the butt section features a carbon fibre spread tow fabric working in conjunction with Century's Anti-Twist Technology, helping to reduce blank twist during the cast and improving casting accuracy and directional control. - Multi-Modulus and Variable Geometry Carbon Fibre: the blank's construction achieves a balance of distance casting capability and sensitivity, with an unground tip section that blends into the main blank to preserve the integrity of the carbon fibres and maximise sensitivity. Specifications: - Length: 9 feet 6 inches (2.89m) - Casting Weight: 10-40g - Sections: 2 equal length sections - Blank Material: High-modulus carbon with Graphene-reinforced resin, Autoclave Technology, Spread Tow Fabric (STF), and a unground unidirectional (UD) carbon tip - Line Rating: PE #0.8 - #2.0, Mono 8lb - 14lb - Rod Weight: Approximately 158-169 grams - Guides: High-end Fuji Torzite Titanium guides, lightweight and highly durable, configured specifically for spinning reels, tied in jet black with subtle metallic garnet tippings - Reel Seat: Fuji IPSM16/B down-locking reel seat, with shaped EVA hand grips for comfort and a secure hold - Handle: Shaped EVA butt grip and a black anodized, laser-engraved Century butt cap - Additional Features: - Removable lure clip - Supplied with a genuine Century partition rod case - Made in the UK The Century Graphex Lure Rod is a premium-quality rod designed for the serious lure angler. It is particularly popular for bass fishing due to its ability to cast aerodynamic hard plastic lures to incredible distances with minimal effort. At the same time, the sensitive tip is capable of working soft plastics and other lures with finesse, allowing the angler to feel every movement and every subtle take. Despite its light feel, it has a powerful butt section that can handle hard-fighting fish like double-figure bass or wrasse, allowing the angler to steer them away from snags and kelp. The rod's balance of power, sensitivity, and lightweight design has earned it a strong reputation among UK and international lure anglers. - Autoclave Technology for maximum resin matrix consolidation - Strategic graphene reinforced resin matrix (Graphex) - AT-T (Anti-Twist Technology) assisting directional control - Multi modulus and variable geometry high tensile carbon fibre construction for distance and sensitivity - Blank colour: Butt - carbon fibre spread tow fabric (STC).
