I have two Century Tip Tornado's LD 13' and the Tip Tornado CMC 14' (heavier work) and they are excellant rods, but take a bit of getting used to.. These are the newer version, but if you can get two of the older versions for that money I would go for it...

I have 2 of the older TT Match models and think they are great rods. Thing is with Century rods...they are like Marmite...you either love 'em or hate 'em.... :lol:
IMO they are great rods and at that price...snap them up mate.

i have the new version of the kompressor s and i must say itsan excellent rod... it can really belt a lead and has a huge amount of back bone for pulling in big fish (smotthies,ray etc..) at distance yet is stil able to fish a three hook clipped rig for smaller fish and show up bites... its true ya either love centuries or hate them but i absolutely love them 8)

not my favourite rod but the older models are by far superior to the newer stuff, good luck with your buy
