Century Rods

Mon Sep 18, 2017 7:16 am

I am looking at upgrading to a New beach Rod, I've always had the Daiwa Rods from back when the Paul Kerry 12' beach caster came out many years ago, but have been viewing Century Rods for the last few days.

I have e-mailed Century and they passed me on their sales rep, who knows about the types of rods for certain conditions etc.
Just waiting back from that bloke now, but said i would ask here.

I have looked at the ; Eliminator T 900 14' 4"

Eliminator T 1000 14' 10"

Excalibur J 13' 6"

Has anybody on here got any pros/cons on any of these Rods?

Thanks

Excalibur j curve is a lovely fishing rod a mate uses it on mixed ground marks an its handled them well depends what type of fishing you want to use it for tho.They have a slim butt an have seen him land congers an ray on them no problem have a good tip for bite detection too

Sound for that, yes they seem tidy at the butt and the fact that they can cast 7oz plus is a bonus. I just want it for Cod, bass, ray etc, had a rod bust recently up in Mullaghmore after catching 2 Nice size Congers, the third was Massive, i got him in, then my rod bust in half and so i don't really want anymore of them :)

Generally a Good decent Beach Rod that will be able to chuck a Biggish bait out, if needed, the T900 seems very nice too.
Im skint atm so it won't be for awhile yet, but just looking for feedback, so Thanks for that

Im in the middle of trying out a pair of the t900's and my mate a pair of the t800's
So far they are performing well with ray to 10lb The bite detection is unreal in the SGT tip

Theres a couple of bruisers of congers in the wall of that pier alright. Ive lost a lot of time and rigs to them. Great fun when you get them out though

ShaneH, please let me know how the T900 goes for you, when you get a few hours up on her, I'm leaning towards that very Rod.
Gary from Century got back to me, I had mentioned the Excalibur J and T1000 to him, he said both totally different rods as i imagined and then he mentioned the T900, he said it has a glass tip which is ideal for casting and Match fishing, I'm trying next year for a Club and so it would be welcome to hear of your full thoughts regarding the Rod.

Thanks,
