Century Eliminator E1000

[<(Andy2009)>]

i think they are horrible and over rated. only any good for heavy ground and the field but even for that you need 20 stone of lager to chuck it.

if you really want one, get the 14ft version which is marginally nicer than the 14ft 8in one. this is only because it feels like your dragging a car instead of a bus through the cast !

people buy rods more for their egos than the ability to actually cast or use the things properly, this is just my opinion anyway.

Am just interested in getting one mate. Tbh me last post is a bit of a lie. A can easily handle me TTR and the action of it is spot on, but just fancy summit different.

The TTR can handle most situations, whether fishing rocks, pier, river, etc, but a like something with a bit tip action for casting, like my Greys Apollo MK3, and that is one hell of a rod and probably my best. I've had a hold of a Eliminator and it felt the same as that, which is perfect for me

i've used both mate for fishing the rough ground and chucking. in my opinion they are one of the most overrated rods out there.

ok they will pull anything out of the veg but they are not nice to use. say for instance your fishing the rocks edges in the cold with a 30mph wind and heavy sea. my experience is that they are difficult to hold onto and numb when casting. by numb i mean you cant feel where the lead is when chucking and if you cant hold onto it, it leads to sore thumbs and mis timed cast that shoot off in any direction.

its just not a nice rod to fish with imho. but as with more and more rods they are being made as horrible tourny poles which seems to kid folk into thinking that if they buy one they will be hitting 300yrds in no time and other people just feed their egos by owning one, both of which are just kidding themselves.

what people need are FISHING rods mate

I have got both the tt-r and the eliminator. I personally prefer the tt-r as it has a little bit of give in the tip for feeling the lead through the cast and the bite indication is quite good too, and a lot easier to use. The eliminator though has a tip a lot stiffer than the tt-r, (the but is slightly slimmer and softer though, but really does pull back on the cast, feeling like you are casting twice the weight. bite indication is not too good. brilliant as an out and out cod rod over the heavy stuff, but can be a bitch to use.

Andrew you can have a go of mine if you like mate. I have the 14ft one and I personally like it as most of my fishing is done in the heavy stuff and also have a ttr but everyone has there own preference I will bring it to the cleadon club when I'm home over Xmas!

ive got both rods. the ttr is more powerful. the eliminator is smoother.

i love them both, if am on the blast beach and wanting distance i take the eliminator.

if am on the south pier (kelp kelp kelp)

- i take the ttr.

the eliminator allows more room for error in a cast.


if i was gonna some all that nonsense up, in a nutshell, i would say the (new) ttr is the daddy.

Got to admit I like a stiff tipped rod mind.

Don't know why though...I'm never away from sand!

just one thing comes to mind " If you cannot bend it you cannot send it! "

never a truer word spoken mate

although i agree you need a pokey rod for heavy ground, i would much rather use something with a bit of flex.

i cant leave the house without me response

The e1000 has a stiff tip and a bit give in the but which the ttr is the other way round. And for casting them a swing with a over the head thump dusnt compress it like butt otg cast is abit better
