Century ADV-1
The Century ADV 1 rods are a premium rod. The ADV 1 incorporates high-modulus carbon combined with 1k-1k carbon for strength and flexibility, offering excellent strength and resistance to twisting. These rods are available in test curves of 3.25lb and 3.50lb, making them versatile for a range of fishing scenarios, from UK venues to larger continental waters.
One of the standout features of the ADV 1 is its balance and lightweight feel. This is achieved through the choice of carbon blank. The rods also feature a classic mid-to-tip action, which provides smooth casting and effortless playability. The Century SiC guides with an S50 configuration, finished with jet-black thread, ensure durability while maintaining sensitivity. A low flash PTFE/Silicone sealant enhances the rod’s UV resistance, increasing its longevity. This is a seriously stealthy look, and for those long blanks, at lest you’ll be looking at something pretty.
The ADV 1 rods also benefit from Century’s AT-T (Anti-Twist Technology), which helps maintain directional accuracy during long casts, offering exceptional distance control. Additionally, the incorporation of autoclave technology helps preserve the rod’s action over time, ensuring it remains consistent for years.
The Century ADV 1 offers a highly refined fishing experience. The rods feel incredibly light yet powerful in the hand, even during extended casting sessions, and their smooth action makes them ideal for both close-range and long-distance fishing. With a sleek design, including a Japanese shrink rubber lower grip and stainless steel accents, they offer not only high performance but also a touch of luxury.
What surprised me the most about these rods was the playability. Although they are powerful. They really are really are a wand that can be used to turn the most stubborn of carp in a gentle and persuasive manner.
