Instead of going on opinions of people you don't know, you should try out some different rods, both Century and other brands, to see what feels comfortable for you. Bring the reel you're going to mount on the rod and cast it to get a feel for it. What works for someone else might not be right for you. You should definitely take Tysdad115 up on his very kind offer to try his rods out.
My concern with these new thin walled blanks is trying to turn a big fish in heavy current at the canal. A thin 11 footer isn't really made to do that. You may reach the other side of the canal with your cast, but it doesn't do you any good if you aren't experienced enough to get a big fish in from that distance.
Whatever you decide, good luck. Also keep in mind that high end equipment doesn't catch fish, the person using it does.
