10' 6" with an action that tries to reduplicate an Allstar 1266 (med fast?....not a rod I am familiar with)
They weigh 6.5 oz, which puts them in the same general range as the CTS rods.

How does it compare to the CTS line. Is it faster than a VT 2-4 but softer than a PJ1006? Is it like a Loomis 1266?
How do the three different versions compare to each other?

I'm looking for something lighter and a bit but not too much faster than a GSB1201M that will throw 1-3 spinning all night without wearing me out, yet still have the stopping power of something more than a GSB1201L , VT 1-3, or Stealth 10 ( more in line with the 1M).
George, Have you tried a Century SS1265? 1-3 and it will throw the range with little effort and great distance. And yes it if you need to put the screws to a fish it is very capable. You can also cut it to 10'
Give one a try before you buy.
