Product Details and Uses

The Century Graphex Lure Rod 9ft 6in 10-40g is a high-performance spinning rod designed and manufactured in the UK. Unlike Century’s well-known beachcasting rods, this model is specifically tailored for modern lure fishing, particularly for species like sea bass, but with enough versatility for a wide range of applications. It’s a premium rod that brings Century’s top-tier blank technology to the lure fishing market.

Key Features and Technology

The Graphex Lure Rod is a testament to Century’s expertise, incorporating several of their most advanced material and manufacturing technologies to create a lightweight, powerful, and sensitive rod:

Graphene Reinforced Resin Matrix: The rod blank is built with a resin matrix that is reinforced with Graphene. This material, which won the Nobel Prize, significantly enhances the blank’s strength, durability, and resilience without adding weight. It allows Century to produce a very light blank with an incredible power-to-weight ratio.
Autoclave Technology: The blank is cured under high heat and pressure using this proprietary technology. This process consolidates the resin matrix, creating a denser, more uniform structure that enhances the rod’s overall performance, sensitivity, and longevity.
Spread Tow Fabric (STF) and Anti-Twist Tip (AT-T): The butt section features a carbon fiber spread tow fabric (STF), which works in conjunction with Century’s Anti-Twist Technology. This helps to reduce blank twist during the cast, improving casting accuracy and directional control.
Multi-Modulus and Variable Geometry Carbon Fibre: The blank’s construction uses a multi-modulus and variable geometry carbon fiber to achieve a perfect balance of distance casting capability and sensitivity. The tip section, which blends into the main blank, is unground, which helps to preserve the integrity of the carbon fibers and maximize sensitivity.

Performance and User Experience

The Century Graphex Lure Rod is a premium-quality rod designed for the serious lure angler. It is particularly popular for bass fishing due to its ability to cast aerodynamic hard plastic lures to incredible distances with minimal effort. At the same time, the sensitive tip is capable of working soft plastics and other lures with finesse, allowing the angler to feel every movement and every subtle take. Despite its light feel, it has a powerful butt section that can handle hard-fighting fish like double-figure bass or wrasse, allowing the angler to steer them away from snags and kelp. The rod’s balance of power, sensitivity, and lightweight design has earned it a strong reputation among UK and international lure anglers.
