Yes, part of the Century Eliminator range T 700 to T 1200. SGT = solid glass tip (I think and on some in the range). Got the T800 and T900 besides others. Cheers Bob

How many Chimera 4s do you want Derek? I have a few Century T 800 SGTs which may be better :cool:

Yes, as a past owner of some Century Pulse rods should have remembered as used the arrangement myself on my Chimera 2's for adding/fitting quiver tips. Still got them somewhere. Cheers Bob

Is that the tips using a 'pigtail' ring that allows quick removal? Seen them on 'Sidewinder' indicators. Cheers Bob

Bought a made up rod on a number of occasions for the 'blank' and modded them. Missed a couple of Infinitys last week at £200 each. With the price of blanks and courier costs it's not as daft as it seems. Cheers Bob

I would say so - they even do a GTI SU SU in the 13'.

GTI or GTI SU?

Had a few all time favourites (pre scourge) but here's one of mine from the mid noughties. Shallow river level swim on the upper Bristol Avon.

Think you may also find that some couriers have stipulations of packing type - i.e. cardboard. Cheers Bob

Sorry to hear of this and one of the reasons I gave up making rods as a proper business sometime back. As you have discovered UPS and all other couriers won't cover rods even if you take out extra insurance on them. Been caught a few times when couriers have destroyed a or a consignment of rods...

I have EVA/Duplon on some of my carp and Daiwa Ivan Marks Whisker Kevlar and other float rods from years back and personally dislike the stuff because of its feel (especially when wet) and other aspects. I'm not surprised at manufacturers using it as it is generally much cheaper, more...

Pretty sure that it used to be quoted as 2lb but got increased to 2.25 somewhere along the way. I'll have a check though. Cheers Bob

Sounds about right to me, butt diameter increase over the C2 is noticeable - especially when you compare C2 and C3 blanks alongside. Cheers Bob

Got a few of these blanks that need making - really interested in these for lighter work. Bends nicely. Cheers Bob

Great rods - used C2's for years. Tempted to build myself a pair. Cheers Bob

Think I know that swim - also used to use hemp and tares and occasionally get crashed by the inevitable barbel. Used to fish the Chew at Keynsham using trotted cheese for roach. Great fishing in the area and regularly fished the K&A and lower Bristol Avon. Cheers Bob

Not my first (that was from Claverton near Bath while fishing for eels) but a early fish from Bath AA water. Bristol Avon, Bath AA, Haydens Field, circa 80s. Cheers Bob

Used to fish it when it was part of Glamorgan anglers Symonds Yat East/Biblins. Really enjoyed my years there - then something happened......... Wish you luck in your quest. Cheers Bob

Hi John - welcome back. Cheers Bob
