Century 1267 Build

[pbadad]

Thanks Chris. The 1327 i built was nice but thought 3.5 topped out. Redfins casted but lacked feel. Owner loves the rod which byall means is super in it's own but I'm not a fan of a 11' rod. Would you feel it could throw eels OK?

Surprised to say it topped out at 3.5, I've thrown 4.5 on it all the time at the canal.

It lacks feel on redfins that for sure. But they are below it's weight range, the 1267 has a better feel for the lighter stuff.

I'm not sure how it would throw eels, think it might be too fast action, but I was throwing big 5oz eels on the 1327 so should be alright. Will have to try it.

If I'm throwing eels I'm using the stealth, such a great eeling rod.

The 1327 ? I throw eels in the surf and the canal with it and it's very nice. My son won't let me take his 1327 thats cut 6" from the butt to try...little bastard.

Sorry dude, but his rod is for "Pro Staff" only! Put your time in and one day you may be worthy

One "Pro Stiff" in my house is enough...the boy gets all the stuff.
