I've been offered a Century WR300 as a rough ground rod. I'm just wondering, will it cope?
I don't doubt it will cope but am wondering how well?
I have a Diawa 130XM and a zippy LT14 which are really good in the weed but sometimes they can be slightly soft in the tip.
What are your views?
I know that some of you do not like Century rods of any model!
I'm not interested in a slagging match if possible just 100% genuine info.
Thanks as always
Steve

Steve,
Have had a few casts with a WR300, VERY powerful rod so it will have no problems with the rough stuff. Think your biggest problem will be finding a venue rough enough to justify using it

it doesnt do any harm having a rough ground rod that hasnt got a pokey tip....sometimes too hard and it doesnt help trying to pull out of snags
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
