Century rods love them or hate them?

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

LADS I REALLY THINK YA,S ARE GOING WAY OFF THE POINT HERE WITH THIS WHOLE CONVO.......... :? I HAVE OWNED RODSFROM ALL THE BRANDS YOU HAVE MENTION AND I SETTLED ON CENTURY SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY SUITED ME BEST....THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE DISSING THEM AS IF THEY WERE SOME BUDGET BRAND ARE REALLY TALKING STUPID....THEY ARE A FABOLOUS ROD.AND THE SIMPLE FACT IS IF YOU BUY A TOP END ROD THESE DAYS BE IT FROM ZZIPLEX,CONOFLEX OR CENTURY I CAN GURANTEE YOU ITS AN EXCELLENT ROD NO MATTER WHAT ANY OF THERE "BRAND" LOVERS TELL YA. THE KEY TO OWNING THE BEST FISHING ROD YOU CAN OWN IS THE ONE THAT SUITS YOU BEST SO DO YOU ALL NOT THINK ITS TIME TO END THESE PETTY BRAND ARGUEMENTS PLEEEEEEEESE? :roll: :roll: :roll:

no, i have rods from all brands but use different one for different fishing and for owning the best rod you can own is silly because if you cant use it then what good is it, i mean the ttr is a great rod, but for flattie bashing? think about it your better getting a rod that suits your fishing or your casting style so its easy to use and wont hurt you
