The
early Armalites set a standard and trend that were regarded as truly
legendary by specialists. The parabolic fighting curve and ease of use
enabled us to use the expression “Perfect Players Rod” TM. There are still
thousands of Armalites in use world-wide however we have been frequently
approached by devotees who have requested that we capture the sprit of the
original but bring the technology bang up to date. Much has progressed in
modern composite technology and although the prey species has not evolved
dramatically since the originals – tactics and expectations – certainly have
moved on. The MK3 brings a fresh look at the principal of addressing the
margins and middle distance. For smaller lakes where the conditions dictate
a player’s rod the new MK3 fits the bill very well. Using modern rod
building techniques including Autoclaving and complex curved carbon fibre
patterns – we can deliver an edge to the new MK3, optimising for that little
bit more distance capability, resilience and resistance to test curve decay
but still retain the action and “retro” look. To remain true to the original
design Century still utilise spigot joints – accurately fitted on our
centreless grinder. The look and feel of the Armalite MK 3 with Al20 reel
seat is visually very pleasing. The performance – is by any standards
acceptable based on the heritage of a “Ten Ton Armalite” – not a reference
to its weight but a 2 ¼lb T/C rod that accounted for over 10 tons of carp
averaging 30’s, in a single season from St Lawrence – USA!
