Century or Greys???

Also depends on where you are fishing. If you are fishing the kelp beds you want a good solid strike, lifting your rod verticle and keeping it there to try and lift the fish out of the kelp and keep it out there otherwise a good fish could be lost. When fishing piers I don't strike very hard at all as the height will help set the hook as the fish tries to dive. I have heard a lot of people striking so hard they probably put a huge hole in the mouth of any fish they catch and therefore having a much higher chance of the fish throwing the hook

the express is an exellent rod, but not really for the heavy kelp beds as such, never tried the greys but reading up both rods are for the same job, my concern mate is the greys is a lot more to buy so i would be looking for a few quid on top as there is something like 50 or 70 quid between them

I am the proud owner of a Century C Curve, a Greys Platinum XS and a Greys Greysflex and to be honest I like the Century the best but the Greysflex is the best casting rod and the Platinum is absolutely bullet proof. If I had to choose one rod between the three then I would go for the Platinum. It's a fantastic all round rod for the North East. I work my rods hard and I am totally confident that my Greys rods are not going to snap.
BTW I briefly owned a WR300 and I hated it. It just didn't suit my build but as people say what suits me may not suit you.

i agree the quality of greys has went down the drain, mrk1's are better than the mrk's 2. I have had a couple of greys rods but a use a century longbeach now and a swear by it, excellent allground rod. So now i prefer century than greys but it is depends on if the rods suits what u want it for
