Century Fireblade GT Beach Rods

The Fireblade GT rods tick all the right boxes for the angler who has an interest in an entry level top end rod brand but where the budget does not stretch to specialist models in Century's sea line-up.

The Century name stands for performance, proven by their 40+ year UK manufacturing history and the Fireblade GT series will certainly impress new owners.

The original Fireblade rod series has received very positive feedback for its outstanding value and fishing qualities over the last few years. However, Century also received requests from owners and the Century Sea Team for a GT (Glass Tip) version where the emphasis required a design that offered a variation in the level of bite sensitivity, specifically for anglers that look for this feature in their fishing strategies. The alterations have been made particularly in the upper quadrant of the rod and balanced throughout the rest of the rod’s deflectional curve.

The design brief also follows in the footsteps of the original and highly desirable Fireblade: it had to be designed and manufactured in the UK. This was to ensure the key elements in quality, materials, processing, performance and reliability could be controlled in Century's factory in England.

Thereafter, the very best performance, with value for money and proven capability, figured highly in the design and processing criteria.
