Century 1267 Build

[ivanputski]

I get nervous when landing bigger fish with the 1327 due to the light thin tip... right or wrong, i dont pass the rod back when landing a fish, i like to keep holding on to the reel seat the entire time, and lust lean back hard to bring the leader within reach (am i high-sticking?) I do this all the time with my lami 1205 with no worries at all, and it has lots of power to do this, but the way my 1327 feels when doing this makes me nervous... maybe without reason, but I still get nervous with how it feels... ive lost a couple nice fish by "babying" the rod and talking too long to grab the fish when at my feet... with the 1205, i just lean back and horse that fish right to me.


1327 casts eels and redfins just fine, but doesnt load that well with redfins.
