Century HPR 9' HPR (5 - 28g) - Equal Butt & Tip (EBT) - £359.00
This is the multi range lure rod that was designed and tested for soft lures to around 9" and hard lures in as wide a range (length and weight) as possible. It is super fast, loads very easily and rewards the angler with long, controlled casts at ranges other rods cannot match with this amount of control. It works with 'everything' but, as most testing was done under the cover of darkness, you can pretty much work this rod with your eyes closed. It excels with weightless soft lures like senko's and sluggos from 4 - 7" fished in the soft needle style and yet, will work a top-water bait equally well whilst being a dream to work slim minnows at any depth. Because of it’s super, super fast recovery and balance system, it doesn't throw wild loops of braid off the rod top which can lead to horrible braid knots when fishing weightless styles. Again though, this rod has been built for the modern lines that are available on today's market. The power of the rod is to be felt to believed but, it is not at all stiff and never locks up, just delivers more as required.

High Performance Resin (HPR)
High Performance Resin (HPR) has been created by Century through the combination of 3M's™ patented resin matrix technology and Century's own carefully selected grades and types of carbon fibre. This fusion of technologys has enabled Century to create an exceptional blank with the following benefits:
• A significant increase in the rod’s compression strength by resisting micro-buckling, delivering improved hoop and flexural strength. The result is up to a 35% stronger rod whilst maintaining the most desirable action and flex. This means more pressure can be applied with confidence both in casting and control of the battle curve.
• A radical improvement in the resin’s adhesive bond between the carbon fibres and thus an increase in the internal shear strength of the rod.
• The new system is almost twice as hard as conventional resins when fully cured and better resists small surface scuffs and knocks.
• The rod’s moment of inertia (MOI) can be controlled to best advantage by intelligent distribution of composite biased towards the lower part of the rod. This reduces fatigue and improves control of the casting stroke and playing action.
