I think most of these high end rod manufacturers thought these retractable would be a flash in the pan. But there beginning to learn that they are here to stay and don't want to be left behind
Wouldn't be surprised if Century are not in the process of bringing a range out. Like Free spirit and Harrison have recently done.

So I went for the 10ft 31/4 telios.
Lovely rods. Not over powerful I have slung a lead with out a rig over 100yards, but that was just to see what they were capable of.
Currently teamed with ss3000.
Had a few smaller fish on them, and they really do play well.
I had them built with 50mm rings, now I wish I had gone for 40’s. Maybe next year get them re-rung

Similar to me. I used retractable rods as a kid, cheap crap
Well, I’ve changed my views, just done a week in France on a very hard weedy water, only had two carp but i also caught 3 near 50lb sturgeon and they do fight, couple this with heavy weed and I cannot believe how my 3 1/4tc scopes held out, thought I would bust them, full pressure, rod bent double, drag set near the lines limit and MASSIVE balls of weed when retrieving rigs. Held up brilliantly, tbh, totally shocked by their performance, unbelievable
Still have my 12 footers but the 10 foots are superb for boat work and travelling due to the pack down size. Over 100 yds casting I think you will be left wanting though
And a shout out for the Ultegra 5500 which I used with them, took some proper hammer, solid for the price
