OK here goes:
Normally it comes with Century's excellent coasters but mine is fitted with the abu grip lock.
The rod is 13' 6" long, the newer models have a reflective tip. It is capable of great distances in the correct hands but, in my hands I can manage to hit the water with the rig

. Therefore it will suit a variety of casting styles, even the overhead thump. I have seen a few people do a full pendulum with it, and, boy does it bend.
Bite detection is excellent also, it is very stable in windy conditions, I have seen softer rods bounce all over the place, my CM hardly moving.
It is suited to either reel up or reel down, I cast reel down. It will cope with both.
Hope that helps!
