Re: century tip tornados
there very good rods indeed,some people would say better than the newer ones,and thats a good price for them if in good nick.the newer models are slightley longer and slightley more powerful.

Re: century tip tornados
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...

Re: century tip tornados
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....
IMO they are great rods and at that price...snap them up mate.

Re: century tip tornados
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
