Very special blanks those.

I bought a set of 12ft 2.5 century stealth graphenes a couple of years ago and they are by far the nicest blank ive ever used. I only paid £500 for a brand new pair as well. They are so light and the action on them is superb.

Unfortunately I had to pay full price of £550 for a matching 3rd one though as had to buy a new one from century. Century were great mind as asked me to drop one of mine off at the factory so they could match it perfectly. There customer service is second to none and brilliant.

I reckon 100 yards with a 2.5oz lead, not measured mind. Fine in weed, they get a bend on but no issue. My most prized items of tackle!

Very much enjoyed fishing with some 2.25tc rods this weekend, something two/three weeks ago I wouldn't have even considered.
One massive thing I noticed was how much better modern carbon is to the older stuff I've been using, crisper, lighter and always felt in total control.
2.5oz leads whirled 50 yards easily with just a baited rig and catching mid doubles on them was a real pleasure even when cranking them away from snags, they always felt in control.
Cheers for all the pointers 👍

I picked up 3 x Fox Horizon 2.25's for what I thought was a really good price. So have two to use and one in the shed as a spare.

No Horizon X which is a previous model and probably why they were priced so well.
