The net is critical to successful landing of a specimen and Century has designed a range that has proven to be highly successful over many years. There is a landing net available to match most of our rod ranges in surface visual appearance. The fundamental design is the same in all versions. Century landing nets are available in net sizes – 42” (1.07m) and 54” (1.37m) with common length shaft of 72” (1.83m) and a put in 24” (60cm) carbon fibre extension. The diameter of the shaft at the main grip point is 0.69” (17.50mm) and at the top of the shaft below the spreader block is 0.48” (12.35mm). The handle is designed to create minimum resistance when underwater and is low diameter.
Product Features
The spreader arms have been designed to give maximum cord tension using a special group of compound tapers. This enables the net to be positioned positively without the net changing in shape or size when pushed under the fish in difficult bank side conditionsThe net mesh is optimised between leads being caught in net and minimum water resistance pulling net through water. The mesh has also been chosen to be as fish friendly as possibleThe spreader block is machined from a solid block of high-grade stainless steel and the carbon arms are located in stainless ferrules that precisely slot into the blockThe shaft is constructed from selected grades of carbon fibres that give a low diameter, stiffness, torque resistance and high tensile strengthThe shaft is built up at the base using composites and covered with a special soft touch handle for good gripA 24” (60cm) extension handle easily slots into the butt of the main shaft to give good reach when using 13’ rods or where the prevailing conditions make banking difficult. The extension handle is also important to keep rod geometry proportional and helps avoid placing a very tight radial curve in the tipAvailable with 42” (1.07m) arms and 54” (1.37m) armsSupplied in a green custom case with separate pockets for extensions and net
