cts rods are supposed to be a lot lighter and thinner in comparison to the century and other rods, becuase of how they manufacture the blank, thinner= less wind resistance/lessweight, but still supposed to be as strong as other rods. Supposed to save the shoulder during the season. elderly gentlemen seem to especially like them cuz it takes less effort to cast. Thats the main diff i've gathered from articles and the one rod guy i talked to about em
As far as the legends go, they are not IMO an upgrade over what I use now. Besides I broke one putting med pressure on a fish. A rod I borrowed no less to see how I liked it, OOPS !

just tellin truths old man seriously though especially the vapor trail which is parabolic, they're supposed to be really easy to cast limiting fatigue over long days/nights of casting. not just for the older crowd, I want one too. of course im sure someone will chime in im built like a stick lol

I like the 70/30 tip/butt split on the Legends more than the 50/50 split on the Century. With CTS you have one piece options (don't know about 9', though)

Someone please explain what is meant by the percentages.
On many two piece rods the butt is the same length as the tip (50/50). Some like the legend the tip is longer then the butt. (70/30). I own a Legend 10'5. I really like it. The only time that split is awkward is if you want to break down the rod with the lure still on it. Like if you are taking it off of your rack to throw in your car if you are getting a quick bite. It's a bit clumsy that way.
