Century fs rods 13ft 13.5ft is a hard rod to beat in fairness.

Rods of today is all about marketing and how many units can be sold in a saturated industry.

Hello all,
I wonder how you would rate "vintage" 3.5lbs rods eg like Century NG or others versus modern 3.5lbs rods eg the likes of South Coast, Nash F20 or F40, the Kordas, Free Spirit rods etc..

Has there been a drastic improvement in performance or pleasure for fishing in general due to the use of more modern materials?
Or do these older rods from the 90ies still hold their ground eg for casting bags?

So you still use rods that are 20+ years old or have you made the switch?

Thank you and let's hope the winter is over soon!
Best regards

Marcus
