The Century SM is a Spod rod that hits the range you need when using a specialist Century rod like an FMA, FS or SP+. Without the right tool you might well find yourself under casting to the range perimeter available on your main rigs. As the Spod rod's main function is to propel and not play - more emphasis and engineering can be placed on the casting side of the design equation. It is therefore possible to gain a degree of economy in the rod's cost however there is no sacrifice in performance and the dynamics of a demanding cast and rapid retrieve rhythm - needed for effective spodding. Century rods hold the principal World casting distance records on 125, 150 and 175 grams at over 300 yards. We actively transfer technology from what we learn at Tournaments held around the world to long range casting rods like Century SM.
