The Century Chatham 50-130# and 130# + are are available in 7' and 7' 10" models. Both feature unprecedented bite detection and lift in the same package.. The extra length associated with these 2 trolling/chunking rods was designed to accommodate a softer tip and stiffer bottom end for a wider weight range better sensitivity and less hook pulls. The 130+ and 50/130 both retain Century's legendary TTS (Total Torsional Stability) The TTS prevents twisting off the blank even under the heaviest loads on the biggest of fish.
The carbon core gives it superior lifting power compared to anything available on the market today.
The autoclave processing insures a completely stable void free and resin lean composite that will retain its test curve for years to come.
The 130+ is a Giant crushing machine! With an extra small diameter and thicker blank walls aids in its superior anti-torsional properties.
The 50-130 Chatham enables you to fish the entire spectrum of tuna size without compromising on either end. The 50 class tip gives the best bite detection with fewer hookpulls and the 130 bottom end of the rod gives you all the lift you need for the giants. The 50-130 has a higher glass content and a slightly larger taper than the unlimited for a more refined action throughout the weight range.
While these rods were designed with tuna in mind they also make great circle hook rods for big marlin and high speed trolling for wahoo.Â
