Century Tip Tornado Sport

[lead chucker]

Had 2 of these, one word, class, wish I still had one, you won't be disappointed mate

As an all round rod they are excellent mate... Had one for a while.

They are not a rod for clean-mixed ground for me. Far too much power and ability and tend to bully fish over the cleaner ground. If your after a rod that will mainly fish mixed and occasional heavy ground you won't find much better. (As per other user comments, lads use them in Norway for dragging in big cod etc from the shore.)

Well worth buyin though!

It was Samhain on Saturday night, is that why you have resurrected a zombie thread from 5 and a half years ago? (OP is from Feb 2010 )

Awsome rod especially when teamed up with a fixed spool and braid, handles rougher ground no probs but isn't a numb poker, ultimate all round tool

century tip tornado sport

definitely a different rod from the mk1, its slightly stiffer, the new tech carbons don't suffer the softening over time as the older rods did,the stuffs come on in leaps and bounds over the last decade, its a slim powerfull rod, don't let the diameter fool you as it did me, this is a rod that takes a bit to master, a proper rough ground rod (winter rod) . deceptive power, for smooth ground the super match ld would be ample, a lot easier to cast. the sport definately prefers a pendulum cast to deliver the goods it recovers fast too , bite detection is ok at distance,but then again im easily distracted chatting to mates, if it registers pin whiting at distance it cant be bad, it is the stiffest rod in the tip tornado range, bear that in mind when the slimness of the blank gets your attention ,

. You did that mate appreciate it nice for some one to let you have a go ov the rod be4 you buy one amazing light but stiff and yes dream to cast 100%

I had tip tornado when they initially came out many years ago now, top 8 inches snapped off during a cast for no apparent reason, sent it back to century via the shop I purchased at and they gave me compressor grand prix, what a tool that is, super light, responsive, extremely strong, fantastic compression and absolutely a dream to throw a lead out.
I prefer the grand prix to any zziplex, coupled with abu 6500 slosh30 or 7500 amazing rods and would be very hard to beat

Funny reading this full post then realising it was started years ago. The lads probably had 3 rods since ! In fact probably sold his gear and now plays golf ! Lol.

2 add my 20p's worth. I've used a TTS mk2 for years and will remain using it. Top rod. I haven't used it on the rough stuff, always opting for a KOMP SS. But after reading these posts I might give it ago !

Wow! when I was a lad you added your pennys worth, then later it was your tuppence worth and now it's shot up to 20p!

Inflation eh? Just for a thought as well?
