Century Dealers in Ireland?

[Dave F]

Any dealers carry an actual stock of Century rods in Ireland? I'm willing to travel wherever really to get hands on before looking at making a decision.

Very few if any Dave most of the newer Century models come in direct from the UK where shops have a bigger audience than those here.
Plus they are a hi end rod and proably costly for dealers to carry a full range.

Try a local match. The guys down here seem to use century a lot. As for buying, a certain scottish angling superstore will send post free to Ireland on any order over £150, which is less than any century rod (might get some coasters though!). The finish on the century rods is beyond reproach. I have several, including two that have been regularly used for over 25yrs, on rocks and beaches, and all come up as new after a wash. Ok, some of the rings are losing their black finish and have dented cages. None of the wippings have let in a drop of water (they really are as new) and the blanks, though scratched, are still shiny
