 The
New Century Speed carp rod is a well-proven tool with a fine pedigree. Frank
Warwick and Danny Moeskops have been the primary field testers evaluating
and refining the rods. The design concepts have been derived from the
work Century have pursued with Danny Moeskops - a passionate carp angler and the
finest caster in the world and Frank Warwick - now recognised as the leading
angler from the new generation of legends in the sport.Century have
selected the best raw materials to balance the requirements for performance,
low weight and diameter with a reliable ongoing supply. The architecture of
the blank is a combination of machine cut cross ply 35gsm carbon,
intermediate and high modulus carbon with a woven 1k-1k twill outer sheath.
Century has optimised the carbon patterns to generate a classic mid to tip
action that will assist in super smooth casts and effortless playability.
The rod is subject to our unique Autoclave Technology for action retention.
The NCS action sits in between the Century NG and SP ranges. Century have
developed a process and carbon pattern configuration that delivers
additional tip speed but retains a progressive C curve. Hence the name New
Century Speed. All constructed in UK on the most advanced rod building
machinery and in conformance with certified quality and environmental
systems.
The NCS incorporates the new Century HB20 reel seat as a standard fit. This
reel seat is made from a Fuji NPS with a modified 6262-T6 aluminium winch
and screw. The winch is castellated to ensure long term durability and
resist torsional forces when locking up the reel.. It is available in two
colours - hard anodised clear or gunsmoke. The Century logo is laser
engraved in the top of the reel seat.
The silk varnish finish is discreet. Black A grade tyings with a single
dark blue trim band below the butt ring. The optional ringing patterns
available are Century SiC S40 butt guide or S50 butt guide. Intermediate
guides are graduated according to the size of the butt guide.
