Kompressor ss or c curve?

[jase]

Hi lads I'm after one of these but not sure which one to get I'll be using it on mixed ground and possibly a trip to Norway next year any advice on them would be appreciated thanks in advance.

C curve will not handle 7oz leads plus a big bait 5oz and a good bait is it's limit ss more suited to mixed/heavy ground plus Norway the c curve would cope with the ground just it doesn't like big leads

Thanks, what's your thoughts on the TT?
My mate has one and I had a blast of it and it's nice I cast way further
But don't know if it's too stiff.

The C curve will be perfect for what you want and there rated to cast up to 200g plus bait they just feel a little strange at first but you soon get used to it an all round better rod than the ss imo

It may be rated 200g plus bait but they struggle

Tt is a brilliant fishing rod it's down to preference if it's to stiff I find them to stiff and if people think there getting the rods to there full potential there kidding them selfs that's purely casting wise as a lot of lads have them for the kind of fishing they do solid ground and cliffs. But they have a great tip with a super stiff butt so it's not just a numb tool

Excalibur C Curve

Think you been given some totally wrong information there on the C curve.The rods rated and advertised by Century to cast up to and including 200gram leads plus baits simple as that.They test all their blanks casting much more before they ever put them into full production and onto the rod market to sell.

As for the typical required rod for Norway question that people keep asking, any standard winter rod you use for cod here rated to cast 6/7 ozs and baits will do for what your ever likely to catch there how ever big the fish.

I have ha the full Excalibur range and sold the Tt a it was to stiff and sold the c curve as was to soft that's there casting range just because a rod is rated to 200g plus bait doesn't mean there optimum weight is 200g

I wasn't mate no couldn't kid myself the rods butt is far to stiff to bend properly

I love mine with mono 525 etc.. But don't like it with braid and fixed spool. Far too stiff and heavy in the hand.

There a nice fishing rod great tip just think if it was 10% less in the butt it would of been great as it would of made it a bit better to cast. Just personal preference no doubt they are a good heavy ground rod and tidal marks superb but distance fishing is hard with a butt that stiff.

Your Very own first Statement

The C curve will not handle 7oz plus bait your very own first statement,is wrong simple as that, it WILL even though granted, that is not its optimum casting weight plus bait.It will cast all day 5/6/7oz leads and bait and handle mixed ground in answer to the original posted question.

Lol ok mate you go buy a c curve put 200g lead on and 2 big bluey baits and cast it see if it copes. It used to say oxo on the sides of buses but they didn't sell it.
