Maybe not a 'fine tip', but a fine rod nevertheless. I've had one for about 3 x years now, and honestly can't fault it.
Personaly I think Century rods are excellent value for money. I also have a Tip Tornado Ultralite (my favourite rod I have ever owned). Years ago I had a Century 'Slammer'...........couldn't fault that one either.
To be fair everyone has their own Ideas with pro's and con's about different rods, but generally speaking, I think most people would regard the CCC as a quality rod.
And they are a local firm.
