i used a tip tornado sport for some time fishing and casting,it is still my opinion it was one of the best rods i have ever used ,only moved on as i wanted a 14 ft rod .the sport is slim and very powerful ,will handle nearly all fishing situations and has hit 240 yards on the casting field and still had plenty left to give,no problem.well capable of hauling good sized fish or a treble of dog fish,check out the century site for some more info.

I have a few of the sports and find them a great rod over all a bit stiff to start off with but when you wind them up you really get the distance and its a nice clean cast nothing worse than a rod that blasts your bait all over the beach.
