Product Description
Century SM [Spodding Machine] Spod Rod 12' 4lb 50mm
The Century SM is a Spod rod that hits the range you need when using a
specialist Century rod like an FMA, FS or SP+. Without the right tool you
might well find yourself under casting to the range perimeter available on
your main rigs. As the Spod rod’s main function is to propel and not
play – more emphasis and engineering can be placed on the casting side
of the design equation. It is therefore possible to gain a degree of economy
in the rod’s cost however there is no sacrifice in performance and the
dynamics of a demanding cast and rapid retrieve rhythm – needed for
effective spodding. Century rods hold the principal World casting distance
records on 125, 150 and 175 grams at over 300 yards. We actively transfer
technology from what we learn at Tournaments held around the world to long
range casting rods like Century SM.
The Century SM is packed with power and internal carbon velocity accelerators
that get the distance and enable a positive, quick return for the next cast.
Repeat this scenario over hundred times during a full session and the virtues
will be become apparent. A Spod rod is one of the most vulnerable rods to
test curve decay. You need the stability
Autoclaving Technology brings to a composite structure to avoid the performance
sapping stresses spodding can generate in an ordinary rod over a very short amount
of cycles. You would also be surprised how many aggressive sea species including
large shark that have met their match with a Century SM design!
The Century SM rated at a nominal 4.00lb Test Curve but the fluid J to C curve action
is deceptive and it will easily handle spods fro 3ozs to 8ozs.
An enhanced guide pattern featuring ceramic lined powder coated stainless steel rings
commencing with a size 50 butt guide.
