Century Tip Tornado Super Match 13ft 6″ 4-7oz

The Century Tip Tornado Super Match is in a league of its own—a rod that perfectly balances a legendary angling heritage with cutting-edge carbon technology. Whether you are a specialist who banks on winning matches or a dedicated pleasure angler demanding extreme accuracy and needlepoint bite sensitivity, this rod delivers on all fronts.

Product Details & Uses

The Super Match owes much of its DNA to the late sea angling legend, Dave Docwra. With his vast international experience and record-breaking insights embedded into the blank’s design, thousands of anglers have already benefited from its highly unique action. Surprisingly, this rod is designed with a slightly more powerful butt section than the ‘Sport’ model, paired seamlessly with a tip that is noticeably “tippier” and more responsive than the standard ‘Match’.

Powered by Century’s renowned Gearbox Design in the butt section and cured using their advanced Autoclave Technology, the Super Match resists test curve decay and ensures maximum energy transfer during compression. The blank itself is a masterclass in modern carbon engineering. It features a 2×2 carbon twill on the upper butt, a 3k-1k carbon lower tip, and an unground UD (Uni-Directional) carbon upper tip to ensure maximum bite detection.

Aesthetically, it is stunning. The rod is now fully fitted with premium Titanium K Guides, meticulously tied in black with ThreadMaster epoxy coating and accented with gold metallic trim bands. It also features marine-grade etched stainless steel trim bands on the upper and lower butt, a Japanese Shrink Rubber (JSR) handle for secure grip in wet conditions, and a DPS movable reel seat allowing you to position your reel exactly where you want it.

Examples of Where to Use

Mixed to Rough Ground: The Gearbox Design butt section provides immense progressive power, giving you the necessary leverage to steer hard-fighting fish out of kelp beds, rock gullies, and snaggy terrain.
Smooth Sand and Shingle Beaches: The refined, ultra-sensitive tip makes it perfect for spotting shy bites from flatfish, whiting, or bream at maximum casting range on open, clean ground.
Estuaries and Tidal Bays: Ideal for punching heavy baits into fast tidal flows where holding the bottom and registering delicate knocks are both critical—perfect for varied coastal marks, from the shifting sands of Morecambe Bay to the deeper tidal channels of the UK coastline.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

To get the absolute maximum out of the Gearbox Design in the butt section, pair this rod with a smooth pendulum or a powerful off-the-ground cast. The butt is designed to load progressively; don’t try to snatch the cast. A smooth, accelerating stroke will allow the Autoclave-cured carbon to compress fully, firing your 150g (approx. 5oz) lead and bait clip safely out to the horizon with minimal physical effort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this rod come with a fixed or movable reel seat?

The new model of the Super Match comes fitted with a high-quality DPS movable reel seat, allowing you to easily adjust the reel position for either multiplier or fixed spool setups depending on your casting style and arm length.

Are the guides suitable for braided mainlines?

Yes. All Century Super Match rods are now factory-whipped with premium Titanium K-Guides. Their forward-sloping frame design prevents wind knots and tangles, making them exceptionally well-suited for both low-diameter braided lines and traditional monofilament.

What is the optimum casting weight for this rod?

While the rod is rated for 4-7oz (125-200g) plus bait, the absolute sweet spot for maximum distance and blank compression sits right around the 150g to 170g (approx. 5oz to 6oz) mark.

Is the tip reflective for night fishing?

Yes, the rod comes factory-fitted with highly reflective tape positioned strictly between the top two guides, ensuring you won’t miss a rattle in the dark when under the beam of your headlamp.
