Century C2 SP Command & Control Carp Rod |12ft 3.6lb Minima Rings Abbreviated Handle

The Century C2 SP Command & Control Carp Rod – 12ft 3.6lb Minima Rings Abbreviated Handle is a powerful evolution of the original C2 platform, developed for anglers who demand greater casting authority without sacrificing the renowned C2 playing action.

When the C2 first launched, it quickly earned respect across Europe for its lightweight balance, refined fish-playing characteristics and advanced carbon construction. Building on that legacy, the C2 SP series combines modern C2 blank technology with the fast taper power and distance capabilities that made the SP name so highly regarded among serious distance anglers.

12ft 3.60lb – The Balanced Distance Performer

The 12ft 3.60lb model is the starting point within the C2 SP range and is widely recommended for anglers wanting a true balance between distance casting and controlled fish-playing performance.

Designed for:

• Medium to large venues

• Fishing at extended range

• Strong headwind conditions

• Casting heavier leads or larger PVA bags

• Anglers who can confidently compress a powerful blank

The fast taper action retains subtle tip sensitivity to reduce hook pulls, while the reinforced butt section delivers the reserves of power required when loaded properly. Open it up, and the rod responds with serious casting potential.

Advanced Blank Engineering

The C2 SP benefits from higher grade carbon materials, allowing for a slightly reduced butt diameter while increasing overall power. The overlap joint design enhances the seamless transition between tip and butt, maintaining a smooth, continuous action throughout the cast and during fish-playing.

Each blank features:

• 1k-1k carbon outer weave from butt to tip

• High Performance Resin system for reduced weight and improved toughness

• Autoclave Technology for long-term action retention

• Custom PTFE/Silicone low scratch matt finish

The result is a rod that feels crisp, responsive and incredibly stable under compression.

This specification includes:

• Abbreviated shrink handle for reduced overall weight and enhanced balance

• AT Minima TiCH guides (50-16 configuration on 12ft 3.60lb)
