I've recently picked up the same rod, a lightly used one for £70. It's my first continental style rod and thus far I'm pretty impressed by it's performance. I also favour 6 oz leads and with a clipped down rig I'm hitting some good distances.I have the enigma centinel t, lovely rod, nice to cast with, casts 6oz plus bait very well, light weight when holding and enough grunt to pull loads of weed in, still waiting for a heavy enough fish to test it tho, pout are easy.
