new to this site yesterday. Looking for suggestions on matching my new Stella 10000 for a high quality surf road. After doing some investigation if appears that Century might be a good choice. Called their importer and they advised I call the Cape Cod Century rep for help in selecting a rod. I believe Canal Bait sells them, not sure where I should shop for one.

Since I am reasonably new to surf fishing looking for help from the more experienced. What determines which rod I select ? 9', 10', 11' ??
I see some speak "factory" and some say "custom" ? They have quite a few models so hopefully can get some suggestions.

I really want an extremely high quality rod to match the Stella. Is Century the only rod I should consider, if not please advise. I know a lot of guys at the canal were using stella/century combo's.

Would probably purchase it at the Cape, just not sure where I should go.

Any help would be most appreciated.
