Just ordered the CCC from century, not the low diameter 1...any1 any thoughts on the rod or used it?

I have the ld version, and if it is anywhere near as nice to fish with as that then you will be very happy with your purchase :)

I really can't find fault with it. It casts like a dream, shows up bites well even at range and is basically an enjoyable rod to fish with - I am looking forward to many years of fishing with mine. Some people find the moveable reel seat doesn't tighten completely, but I have had no problems on that score. The extra grip above the spigot is a nice touch which makes breaking the rod apart easier with cold wet hands. If I was being picky then I would say that I was not 100% happy with the reflective tape on the tip, but it is a personal choice and cheap and easy fix (and something that I have had to do on every rod I have ever bought) so nothing to complain about really.

I also have the LD version and echo just about everything that Manxfisher has just said, the tip is perhaps a tad stiff for detecting flattie bites ( though its a bit overgunned for that type of fishing ) but beside that - they are pretty much perfect. :D :D

seen one of the LDs a few weeks ago, looked a nice heavier end beach rod, just out of interest, what price are they running at?

Been looking at this one recently myself..... Can you say where you are getting it at €300 :?: If it's a personal deal from a tackle shop, then no worries.

I'm thinking of this rod for match fishing when there is a bit of weather or heavy sea's. Good to hear that the bite detection is pretty good. Any thoughts on this V's the Zziplex 3500?
