Working with Century I
laid out the design specifications for this rod
(exclusive to me). I have always been a lover of the AK47
range but there where a few things that could be improved
on. We change the length from 12'6'' to 12' as this is
just so much more popular than any other rod length.
Still employing all the gearbox AK47 layup but slightly
modified and using a new twirl carbon on the blank we
ended up with not only an easy cast very functional carp
rod but one that look brilliant, very nice. Autoclaving
the blank to reduce test curve decay and using the ultra
matt no varnish anti scratch finish on the blank, long
life is assured. Form and function, brilliant.
The 2.75 TC model has a
ideal casting weigh of 3oz for normal casting and 2.5oz
for very high speed casts.
The 3.50 TC model has a
ideal casting weigh of 4oz for normal casting and 3.5oz
for very high speed casts.
