Century SRE

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 got one recently and have to say i love it so far. bit heavy at first because i was more used to a greys bze but after a few mins getting used to the extra length...easy now...i found it a dream to cast a bait. will be using it as much as possible from now on.

Sean, I have the SRE 5m. Ill drop it in for you to play with next time im up your way. Long, softish, through action. Good for the long flat traces etc. Nice enough rod, bit heavy though and limited applications.
