WR300. New v Old Model?.

[Dilligaf]

Hi,
Can anybody tell us the differences between the old & new model WR300. I know the new one has minimal build(finish) & steel banded spigot but, how does it compare for casting/fishing?, i.e; bite detection & feel in the cast(tip action)..
Had previous model in past but curious as looking at getting another.
Thanks in advance....

if you ring andy rutherford up tackle shop at roker he should be able to help or reelsport at south shields terry woods both shops stock quite a few century rods and phone numbers should be on here somewere.

Bought a wr300 at the start of last season, excellent rod in my opinion. Tested a few of the Centurys including the Kompressors and found they did'nt have the backbone which i require in a rod. But don't let that put you off because it has a brilliant bite detection to match..
