Century Tip Tornado LD
The Tip Tornado LD (Low Diameter) is just 0.83” (21.18mm) wide at the butt however its potential is huge. It has been summarized as a rod that casts all styles, casts a big wide range of weights, is slim, portable, good from the rocks on mixed ground, responsive on smooth open beaches, will protect worm baits at full tilt and will pretty much be a stick that can be just taken out fishing OR casting or both. It handles fast lateral current, casts effortlessly weights from 80g to 150g plus baits. The Gearbox design enables this remarkable rod to operate so successfully and the feedback from anglers who already own this rod - is that it is destined to be a classic.

For the past 30 years Century has fitted Fuji BNHG style guides to their marine shore rods. This guide pattern has proven to be very durable and reliable however Fuji has released a guide that Century think is better. It is the KWAG series (see image below) constructed from polished marine grade stainless steel with an Alconite centre.

The main features that Century endorse on this guide are deep pressed, compact frame that sits well on casting rods yet still eliminates any area where line can "catch" on guide frame. The flared frame radius exceeds ring diameter allowing looped-line tangles to slip forward and release automatically. The slightly forward ring angle promotes fast, "self-starting" tangle release.

Akios S-Line Multipliers (Images below)
The S-Line 656 series has been especially designed to suit the very demanding world of beach and shore fishing, that requires absolute precision and finest tolerances to enable to cast, brake and retrieve the lead and bait.

The Akios flagship reel, the S-Line 656 CTM is the casters dream due to the technical specification of brass gears, carbon drag washers, brass, chrome plated corrosion resistant side plates, upgraded stainless power handle, upgraded spool release spring to stop reel re-engaging during cast, centrifugal brake, fully adjustable magnetic brake positioned on the left hand side plate by the turn of the chromed knobby.

This model being a CT has no level wind, and therefore has no resistance during casting so will cast to the horizon! Be sure to take care and get ready with the brakes!!

The S-Line 656 CSM is all of the above but with the added feature of an adjustable magnetic braking system, adjustable by a chrome knobby on the left side plate, that can be adjusted before or during the cast, and appeals to those who still prefer to have a level wind.
