the metal collar or the rod
Paddy, for some reason the Chinese rod makers dont like to wrap extra carbon around the butt end, they prefer to use the little metal collar....personally I think its down to price, carbon fiber is very expensive and limited to the Chinese....if it is cosmetic then Century have got it wrong IMHO, UK & Irish anglers/casters dont like that collar in the way the Europeans do, I think you will agree.

I had heard that the rod is made in China.....wouldnt surprise me....they just need to be up-front about it.....secrets dont stay secret in the tackle trade for long
The metal ring is to replace whipping (coloured thread) not carbon, which strengthens the rod as you dont rely on thread.

Has any of you tried the lower diameter version the one thats casts up to 5oz I seen it in a shop and it looks v good for match fishing and its going at a good price too so would it be a good buy at under 350 euro
