I've been offered a good price on a set of these. Standard build.

Has anyone got a set? How do you find them? A friend of mine has the 3.25 stealths and he says he feels they are slightly under gunned for big chucks. I'd get the 3.5lb.

Welcome any feed back. Cheers.

Hi mate
I have got a set of these 12ft standard build in the Stealth 3.5lb, lovely looking rods. They are quite stiff but will give you a good chuck for long casts, I will be looking to sell mine once I get a small resin chip sorted on one of the spigots. I brought them from a guy on here, but have found after having different brands the Harrisons tend to suit me better - personally.

They are good for medium to longer casts, but not for extreme distance in IMO.

I have the rods that your mate has. Nice all round blank. I could easily crack off with 15lb line if I wanted to. I would imagine the 3 1/2 Tc are a very powerful rod and a bit stiff to be a pleasure to use on a daily basis, could be wrong

Century make rods for fishing situations and they do exacltey what they are made to do for me. I had some 3 1/2FS for a couple of seasons, long range bag rods, I could have cast half an house brick with these

Can't you take them, or one out for a test?

Thank you for the replies. I'm actually glad that you've said the blanks are on the stiffer side. I'm not a fan of soft blanks so I think these might suit me perfectly. I need all the casting help I can get. :-)

Not an option to take them out first as they are new, and I think they will need to order them in for me.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
