Century rod blanks

At the MASSBASS show , Ryan from Hatteras Jacks had a bunch of Century rod blanks. Now century has been around a long time and may well be the best blanks available anywhere. The trouble was that their best technology blanks made by autoclaving didn't fit well into the striper surf fishing niche. It appears like there are a few new models now that do fit the needs of a striper surf fisherman. I need to check into more details at the century site and then late again with Ryan but I'm curious as to whether anyone here has a Century blank they built on or a finished rod they bought using one of these new models and if so , what did you think of them? These are just coming out so my guess is if your Century is a year old , its probably not one of the newer ones.

I have a century tip tornado light which IMO will outcast anything in its class but its just a little too heavy for stripers less than say 34 to 36 inches because they barely bend the rod. Its perfect for casting at the canal though.

Any info from anyone here?
