NG+

If you are a specialist – you will almost certainly have come across or heard of the Century NG carp rod. The design was first introduced in late 1990’s when we undertook the original development with Frank Warwick. Since then – the rod has achieved cult status and Frank has spent thousands of hours fishing NG’s and we have feedback from every conceivable scenario likely to be encountered.

Over the past decade there have been several technical advances in composite fibre and resin matrix technology and the best of these have been incorporated into the NG. The carbon patterns are cut using a CAD CAM machine that holds extremely tight tolerances and this ensures the action and T/C is faithfully reproduced from rod to rod. Additionally NG’s are subject to our Autoclave Technology curing process which significantly reduces test curve decay. New to the latest generation of NG’s is Century’s Anti Twist Technology – ATT - which involves winding very fine carbon fibre prepreg around the internal circumference of the blank which radically assists ring alignment during the cast. We have used this technology to generate the longest casts ever made with a rod at International tournaments.

The 12' and 13’ NG 3lb SU (Stepped Up) are extremely effective for medium to long range – without the use of shock leaders. The revised action protects the line during the casting cycle to reduce the chance of crack offs, gives good shock absorption with braided line and also gives added control when snag fishing.

The Century NG+is fitted with the SB20 engraved, part stainless custom reel seat and features woven 2k-2k carbon below the seat and 1k-1k above the seat - up to the first ring on the tip. The surface finish is matt and sealed with PTFE/Silicone. All rods are supplied with size 40 ringing configurations unless size 50 is specified. Size 50 is standard on SU models. Also featured is stainless steel ball butt stop.

Century offer three reel seat options. Standard fit is SB20. Optional at extra cost SS20, AL20 or no extra Fuji DNPS 20

Autoclave Technology

The complex construction is engineered from the highest grades of carbon fibre – most of which are only available in the West and blended with special low density toughened epoxy resin. This is all fused together in the autoclave process under tremendous heat and pressure. The result is a rod that keeps on performing to its maximum potential for considerably longer than oven cured rods.
