How old do you think they are? its got the number 6116 on the blank so i presume that's a model number? cheers The SP was quite a long lasting rod, and a few versions autoclaved and pre-autoclave. I had 2.75lb TC SP's with a black/dark grey reel seat, around 2005. This was a brown blank. From memory the number of the blank was printed on the butt and the tip section so I was always able to match the correct butt and tip. I don't think it is a model number, I actually think it is the number in the run. I'm not sure when the steel reel seat came into vogue, probably around 2011, but I could be wrong RJT74 1 Quote
RJT74 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Posted August 28, 2021 Hi, i rang Century yesterday and he said it was a 6 i 1 6 model not 6 1 1 6 from 2016 ish. Really nice on the phone. Was fine talking about the rod even though it wasn't a 'new sale' I can see why people think highly of them and their kit. salokcinnodrog 1 Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted August 28, 2021 Report Posted August 28, 2021 I have spoken to them a few times, about custom builds (my NG's) and the carbon cloths and pre-pregs they use, always found them very helpful. Quote

We mainly make stuff for planes and that but we make a lot of different pre pregs and stuff for other applications Quote
