Century NG + tackle review


Hi everyone
Apologies for the lack of activity. Hope you are all out catching carp. Since I last posted the carpy weather has really kicked in and carp are being caught all over the country. I thought I would do a review on an awesome bit of tackle that I have been using since November. I was lucky enough to receive a pair of century NG + rods in 3.5 tc for my 21st birthday, thanks to my folks ;). The rods have been a revelation, never has it been so easy to put a rig wherever I see carp. I must admit i was scared that I got a set of broomsticks for my birthday so imagine my surprise when one of the rods rattled off on a local runs water, the result a 9lber. The fish gave a good account of itself with the rod exhibiting a nice through action to the butt of the rod. Due to the century rods being made to order it gave me free reign to get what I wanted on the rods. So as you can see by the shots the beautiful stainless reel seat collar was machined on and a little stopper on the butt section to prevent it being pulled out of the rest in snag situations. It wasn't till linear that the rods really got some punishment as you know I went for 4 weeks and it enabled me to really put them through their paces. When I really unleashed the rods when using solid bags I managed previously unachieved distances of well over 110 yards, and managed 3 fish from that sort of range, my first fish caught in my life from that sort of distance verdict these rods are the veritable dogs wotsits highly recommended pictures to follow.
