No personal experience with this particular rod but as a Century fan I would recommend them as a rod builder whole heartadly!!
By the title 'euro' is this a continental style 'long' rod (14'+), Im interested myself in one of these long rods & fixed spool combo's & if I was to buy one it would certainly be a Century.
Let us know how you get on.

Century Centex Euro
Price: £169.65
Danny Moeskops, the World Casting Champion designed this rod for use on Western North Sea venues where the beaches are relatively clean, fixed spool reels use is most common and casting styles suit a very progressive action. Then we tried it in UK and realised that as Alan Yates has been saying for years, that it had a place in any specialist's armoury. A very compressible rod that will deliver 3 to 5 ozs considerable distances and is a whole bunch of fun to use for Bass, Pollock, Codling and practically anything with fins cruising the coast.
Blank Colour: Midnight Blue
Length: 14' (Butt length 85.5" Tip length 85.5")
Factory Finish: Century SIC Guides, Fuji Winch and Gripfast handles.
Casting Ratio: 3-5ozs

If the 4 - 6oz is around the same money new as the above, depending on condition I'd give upto £100 possibly, I'd like to find a review before parting with the money though. If I come across anything else I'll forward it, let us know how you get on.
