Century FMA 12ft Casting Rods
The ultra long range
carp rod- Century FMA (Force = Mass x Acceleration) . The
radical new design of this rod has been achieved through close
cooperation with Frank Warwick-one of the biggest hitters in carp
angling, together with a significant technical transfer from Century's
experience in competitive casting where Century hold the World Records
for casting 4oz, 5oz and 6oz.
The FMA departs from conventional thinking by a quantum leap. We
have started from a position that Century require a neutral taper in the
butt section: the butt is therefore parallel and incredibly just over
½” in diameter at its base. This allows us to position the power
bands in exactly the areas that wil l generate maximum tip speed.
The design of the rod is now governed by the materials and is less
reliant on a fixed taper, which hitherto had a disproportionate
influence on design and performance. This is one of the reasons
why all our World Records have been achieved with parallel butts.
Century use a complex series of ultra high modulus, high modulus and
intermediate modulus carbon patterns cross-l inked in the axis of the
rod. The hoop strength is increased with the use of 1K-1K carbon
twil l and special cross wrap carbon fibre inter ply which we call ATT.
The new action in the tip blends into the butt wi th a f lowing arc
when under compression and acts like a pretension spring. The
rod is incredibly quick in recovery and the virtues of braided l ine
can be used to the maximum. Conventional line is well protected
and the revised action real ly helps prevent hook pulls.
Casting
distances in excess of 200 yards hav e been a regular feature of our
development programme and the tip has many of playing
characteristics of the Century FBS range. A truly remarkable
combination fused at birth in the autoclave for action retention and
total integrity.
Processed
We hav e giv en FMA’s a casting weight rating rather than a test
curve.
Centrury focus is to produce the best long-range and playing carp
rods available: extensive trials confirm the 2 models available -
FMA1 for casting 3-4 ozs and FMA2 for casting 3-5 ozs are truly
sensational . We use Century double leg 50 pattern SIC guides,
configured to give the same performance we achieve at
Tournament.
The rods are finished in Century’s UVA resistant si lk
matt f inish. We fit a Century SB20 stainless reel seat and the rod
graphics are lasered onto an ultra fine stainless tube beneath the
seat. A full length JSR handle is fitted below the reel seat.
The new and updated FMJ. Designed by Danny Moeskops - the rod
for ultimate casting performance .FMA ( Force = Mass x
Acceleration) delivers the perfect combination of distance and
playability. AT-T (Anti Twist Technology) Low density 1k-1k carbon
fused in the autoclave.
Features include the following:
- SB20 reel seat; extended JSR handle grip; reverse fit joint with
stainless trim band; Rings: Size 50, 40, 30, 25, 20, Tip 16.
