Can anyone comment on the century stealth rods, are they all they are cracked up to be? Century say they are the lightest blanks on the market are the actually that might?
I was originally looking at the harrison aviator in 12'6ft 3.5 tc I keep going back to the century website. Ideally I want something that would be good to cast with to 100-120 yard in a decent wind but not an out and out broom

Very much personal preference but I compared the stealth graphene with basia df x45 in 12ft 3.75tc and thought both seemed very similar in action and weight but the basia was over £100 cheaper per rod. Have also used the aviator in 12ft factory build ie 50mm kigan rings and didn't rate it compare to previous two. The 13ft aviator is very different feel to the 12ft and will do what you want and more but the 12ft6inch torrix te's will do your required distance and probably play fish a little better and you could have a three rod set custom built with all the best fittings for less than a set of factory stealth graphene.

I've had many rods in my years carp fishing,
I've got 12.6 aviator plus's,they do all I want,long range with a bag,and so forgiving under the rod tip when playing fish close,these are factory built bought from Johnson ross👍👍

I'm in exactly the same position torn between these rods! What do people think is the best rod from these, Harrison Aviator/Stealth Graphene/Daiwa Basia? I know rods are a personal thing but would be interested in personal experiences with these rods?

Never owned the aviator so cant comment on that but the graphenes are the best rods ive owned. The basia blank is also superb but only ever owned the basia barbel rods but i would imagine the carp rods are also excellent as daiwa dont really make a bad rod. I just dont like the look of daiwa rods personally so always put me off them. Nice to see they are not using minimas anymore as hare those things.
