Urban myth.
I can't speak for every Century blank, but the 10' Stealth weighs the same as a GSB1201L (I don't know what the advertised weights are but checked both rods when built the same and they were very close). It is thinner, has less air resistance, and its weight is more in the butt so it feels tip lighter (all good), but it does not actually weigh significantly less. I think the CTS blanks might be lighter, but also supposedly more fragile.
GSB blanks are pretty light rods, particularly when their strength is figured in. The XRA and SSU models are usually heavier. The reality is that most guys are used to their old Lamis built with big heavy guides and think it is the blank that is a dog, when it really is the way it was wrapped. Took me a lot of tearing down, rewrapping, and expensive guides to figure this out. But I am happy I did.
