The reviews seem to be pretty good overall. Overall consensus seems to be a more refined slowed down Radian. Yet still plenty of power. A more progressive rod.
I've wiggled a few at some shops but haven't cast one yet.
I thought I'd sell my Radian 906 this winter and get a Centric. But then I cast my Radian and said why bother. As Tom Morgan once said, "a great fly rod is always a great fly rod."
the radian is a great rod. Id be more than happy to fish that rod the rest of my life.
I still take a cheaper soft rod though most times when fishing tiny flies and small tippets.
I think back 40 years ago and the rods and choices now. we are spoiled that's for sure
