    A lot pokier than an SS, closer to a TTR power-wise, but with a different action and a lot more "feel" to it (more like a Zziplex) - I always found the heavy-end Centuries a bit "numb" to cast, for want of a better word. (Unlike their Tip Tornado which I really liked).

        thanks again , I suppose a lot has to do with ones own bodyweight and strength too , I didn't really like the ss when casting , I found id lose the feel of where the lead was 3/4 into the cast , but when it came over it didn't half punch the lead out , I maybe should have given it more time tbh . it would be good if tackle shops came with a field so we can try before we buy . thanks for all the info anyways .

            That was my gripe with the SS (and the TTR) - they kind of lost touch with the lead when doing any kind of swing, otherwise I thought the SS was pretty nice, but opted not to by one. The others I had (TTR & Eliminator) were certainly the business on the retrieve & rough grounding, but the Eliminator in particular I found tiring to use, probably due to it's extra length. Great, rugged build quality on the Centuries too.

            Having had a few Centuries & Zziplexes, the best way I can describe the Harrison to someone who hasn't used one is that they have a similar, rugged build to a Century but more feel like a Zziplex when casting; whilst they're a bit heavier than the Zzippies I'd say they're not quite as heavy as the Centuries, but maybe that's more down to balance (and I'd say better bite detection than the Centuries too). The one thing you can guarantee is that everyone's opinion will be different
