CENTURY BB

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

I have one since August and I think it's a cracking rod. I use mine with a 525 or a Abu6500 it's easy to cast and it doesn't explode soft baits. Better casters than me may have a different opinion but I think it's a cracking rod. I also find the tip great just stiff enough not to bounce around in the wind or surf but with good bite detection.

Cheers
Shane

still reckon the gb3 lite is a far superior rod, doesnt bend from tip to
butt when ever that bit extra is needed, the bb is very through actioned

I got them on a Conoflex Foo Fighter FF1

Its a new rod I picked up in viking tackle last weekend, it was a bargain cos they ordered it in for somebody but they didnt didnt take it, so viking were keen to get it sold. Their loss is my gain :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can definately recommend the Foo Fighter, if your looking to buy a new rod :wink:
