The Eliminator X90 has thousands of hours of research, development and testing devoted to its final conclusion as the most advanced overlap joint high performance UK built shore rod. Iteration after iteration being tested by our dedicated consultants and on our own internal test rigs. The novel technology and advanced manufacturing have generated a well-balanced rod, with a very responsive tip action, progressively stiffening throughout the curve to store and smoothly release energy from the butt. New mandrel tooling and composite pattern designs that allow a semi tapered butt section with progressive phased tapers, adjustable positioning reel seat are all part of the technology package.
We anticipate the X90 to be one of our most popular rods ever. It has had tremendous amounts of developmental work done from the shoreline as well as the factory to produce the final version which was agreed by all unanimously to be the best. This rod sits perfectly between the Eliminator T900 and the T1000. A touch longer than our bestselling T900 and a more manageable length than the T1000 which some anglers find a bit too long for them in the cast. The X90 fills a niche, not just in length but also in power. This rod will suit those desiring a little more oomph than the T900 and a little less than the T1000 in terms of casting power and leverage on large specimen fish. We also listened to our core Century customers who would have loved something like a T900 which incorporated a carbon tip instead of a glass one. The X90 does have a fantastic carbon tip that has a lightning-fast recovery and will also pick up bites at the longest of ranges. The rod will send a lead a very long way whilst being lighter than both the T900 and T1000. It will land just about any fish in British waters without being overbearing. It is very much a fishing rod, designed for those travelling specimen anglers who need one rod in their bag which will do it all. The feedback from our team has been brilliant.
The materials used in the Eliminator X series follow on from our experience in current Eliminator rods by using Spread Tow Fabric (STF) combined once again with HPR resin technology and Autoclave Technology to offer significant AT-T anti-twist properties. The STF surfaces in the butt and lower tip and compliments the Anti-Twist Technology incorporated throughout the rod. STF comes straight out of Formula One and all cars use this material extensively in the chassis for performance. Fitted with the robust yet super light Titanium K guides as standard keeps excess weight to a minimum. This Eliminator X series of rods is another example of Century driving the rod industry and rod design forward to maintain our place as the leading manufacturer of sea rods.
