You need a pair I know, but three is better.. ;)

What is your name can I ask, you know mine.(y)

Will you still go for the pair for £512, or do you want to waggle a Fireblade GT before you decide ?

I'm Steve mate 🤝 Yeah in all seriousness I do want to have a look at the Fireblades before I make a decision. I'll take a drive round a few shops tomorrow to see if I can find one with stock 🤞

Go for the 14' Fireblade GT if you decide on them, that extra 12" makes all the difference Steve. ;)

I'll give my options a ponder over the weekend and see if I can get a Fireblade GT in my hands to compare

The only problem with the Fireblades is you wont get any leeway on price as far as I know, Century are very strict in that way.. :(

You seem to be leaning toward the Fireblades Steve, but in my honest opinion you should really consider the Daiwa's, they were building top quality beach rods long before Century, and bang for buck the Daiwa's cant be beat IMO. And they are also UK built.

But you may well like the feel of the Century's if you manage to find a tackle shop with stock, I wish you luck with what ever you go with Steve. Tight lines mate. 🎣 🎣

Honestly Ian I'm not leaning any direction yet but I do want to see and feel all options before I make a final decision. I know they don't have many fans here but I still really liked the Blackouts also. Too many decent rods to choose from 🤯 lol
