Century Tip Tornado Graphex Ultra Lite ST (13ft | 1.54.5oz)

The Century Tip Tornado Graphex Ultra Lite ST takes the sporting element of sea angling to the highest achievable levels. This 3rd-generation rod is specifically engineered for the connoisseur of light-performance tackle, excelling in sheltered conditions and over smooth ground. By integrating Nobel Prize-winning Graphene into the resin matrix, Century has created a rod that is deceptively light yet remarkably durable, offering a refined fishing experience that traditional beachcasters simply cannot match.

Designed with a 1.5 to 4.5oz casting range, this rod is a masterclass in finesse. It captures the best of the legendary Tip Tornado heritage while introducing cutting-edge Graphex technology to enhance tracking, sensitivity, and dampening recovery. Whether you are scratching for flatfish in a quiet estuary or targeting summer bass in the surf, the Ultra Lite ST offers a level of technical feedback that makes every bite feel like a major event.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Technologies

• Graphex Technology: This bespoke resin/Graphene matrix significantly improves the rods durability and tracking during the cast. It also allows for rapid dampening recovery, meaning the rod returns to a neutral state instantly after release for maximum distance.

• SG-T Hybrid Tip: The tip features an S-Glass and IM carbon core. This combination is the pinnacle of bite detection, providing enough sensitivity to show the smallest knocks from dabs and whiting while remaining resilient enough to handle a surprise bonus fish.

• AT-T (Anti-Twist Technology): Even on a light rod, torque during the cast can lead to inaccuracy. AT-T resists this twist, keeping your guides perfectly aligned for laser-like casting accuracy.

• Gearbox Design (Phased Taper): The butt section is designed to load progressively, making the rod incredibly easy to use. It doesnt require a high-energy cast to work the blank, making it a joy to fish with for long periods.

Examples of Where to Use

• Estuary and Harbor Stalking: The perfect tool for flicking small baits into the tide for Gilthead Bream, Flounder, or school Bass.

• Clean Beach Match Fishing: Ideal for competitive anglers who need to maximize their distance with light leads (2oz or 3oz) and small, delicate baits.

• Calm Summer Surf: A fantastic choice for pleasure sessions where you want to enjoy the fight of every fish without being over-gunned by a heavy beachcaster.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

The Ultimate Finesse Setup: The Ultra Lite ST is all about balance. To maintain its feather-light feel, we recommend pairing it with a 5000 or 6000 size fixed spool reel loaded with a thin-diameter braid or 10lb monofilament. The Titanium K Guides are virtually weightless, keeping the tip speed lightning-fast. For night fishing, look for the 3M reflective tape between the top two guideswhen paired with the sensitive SG-T tip, youll see bites long before you feel them. This rod is finished in a stunning Midnight Black with unique aquamarine and flame pink whippings, making it as visually impressive as it is technically advanced
