Century Chatham

The Century Chatham 50–130 lb is a 7' conventional tuna rod designed to combine exceptional bite detection with serious lifting power.

The extra length and carefully tuned action allow Century to use a softer 50-class tip with a powerful 130-class lower section, giving the rod a broad working range. That softer tip helps improve bite detection and reduce hook pulls, while the heavy bottom end provides the leverage needed when a big tuna settles into the fight.

Century’s TTS — Total Torsional Stability helps prevent the blank from twisting under heavy loads, while the carbon-core construction delivers impressive lifting power without excessive bulk. Autoclave processing creates a stable, resin-lean composite designed to maintain its action and test curve over years of hard use.
