Century Stealth Review

Jonny
If you want to try the Stealths or any of the Century rods just look for the crowd at the canal on weekends, All kidding aside, I am always along the canal and make sure I have rods available for people to try. Big Dave

To me balance is two things. One is the actual balance of the rod, with a ZX27 its ass heavy. The other thing i consider when it comes to balance is just how the reel feels on the rod in my hands. The reel seems to just be too big for the rod, hence, not balanced. If i was to max out the drag on that reel i would be looking into century's warranty on the rod, it would snap like a twig vs 40 lbs drag.

Thanks

I'm fishing a 10'6 mojo 2-6 with a VS250. It's so tip heavy, i don't even think a VS300 would balance it. When I first got it, I poured 7oz of lead into a but cap which balances it perfectly with a 2oz plug tied on. The butt cap also acts as a counter weight when working pencils but that's a lot of weight to add to a rod.

I'm curious as to what others do to balance things.

Yet another review after i caught my fist fish. I was testing it out on my lake and caught a 14" bass. I had the drag very loose and was throwing a cocahoe, what a fight. The first run pulled off about 12 yards of line. Seriously, the rod is light enough to throw a cocahoe nicely, it was really launching a jumping minnow. Very versatile stick. I am a bit anxious to see how it performs on 30+lb fish.
