Hi all, am after some info.

I'm interested in getting the rod mentioned above, but don't know much about it. I've seen peolpe using them and they look brilliant.

Are they stiff rods??, as this is what am after. I've heard there great casting rods with lots of power. I'm either going to buy a Rod blank brand new and get it built up, buy one secondhand or swap my TTR ltd edition 'Big Danny' for one secondhand in good condotion.

What are your thoughts people :).

i heard ya suppose to be atleast 20 clem to cast one of these rods and have atleast 40 posts on nesa to even try sell one when ya get fed up with it :D
 
Seen a one trade on the pier this summer for £250. It had only been used a few times and was as new. Just info as a guide for you mate.
 
got one mate very hard rod like trying to compress a scaffy bar ideal for cliff work and really ruff ground and it will pull a shopping trolley out the water proper hard core:o
 
Just get a scaffi pole,put a reel fitting and some rings on it and it will have the same action and be the same wieght as the E1000.....
 
Two models available mate, the original 14ft 8in model & the shorter 14ft one. Mine's not seen the light of day since last year, personally find it a bit tiring & unwieldy - keep meaning to take the hacksaw to it as I had a waggle with the shorter model & it felt like a different rod; much better balanced & lighter (which might have something to do with the better balance).

I'd recommend trying to have a look at both mate - the extra length might suit you, but I find 14ft generally plenty for the heavy ground rock & kelp fishing that I bought it for.

are both rods same stiffness as each other or have different actions?

14ft is best length for me as that's what I always use and cast extremely well with. :)

They're exactly the same rod; Century have just chopped 8" off the bottom of the butt section. I checked as I wasn't sure about chopping mine, but they said there are no gearboxes etc in the butt section & that's all they've done to produce the shorter model. Both cost the same though new......best price I've seen off the shelf is £399 from Lewis's in Whitley Bay; last time I was in they had one of each in the rack.

the original long ones are horrible. due to the fact at how long they are and imo they are really unbalanced and tip heavy. i didnt no they done a 14ft version but i no a lot of lads just chopped theres down to 14 or 13-11 (some of the well known big chuckers) i wouldnt say they are overly stiff and if you can handle your ttr then shud be ok with these. ttr for me like :)
 
i think they are horrible and over rated. only any good for heavy ground and the field but even for that you need 20 stone of lager to chuck it.

if you really want one, get the 14ft version which is marginally nicer than the 14ft 8in one. this is only because it feels like your dragging a car instead of a bus through the cast !

people buy rods more for their egos than the ability to actually cast or use the things properly, this is just my opinion anyway.

Am just interested in getting one mate. Tbh me last post is a bit of a lie. A can easily handle me TTR and the action of it is spot on, but just fancy summit different.

The TTR can handle most situations, whether fishing rocks, pier, river, etc, but a like something with a bit tip action for casting, like my Greys Apollo MK3, and that is one hell of a rod and probably my best. I've had a hold of a Eliminator and it felt the same as that, which is perfect for me :)

i've used both mate for fishing the rough ground and chucking. in my opinion they are one of the most overrated rods out there.

ok they will pull anything out of the veg but they are not nice to use. say for instance your fishing the rocks edges in the cold with a 30mph wind and heavy sea. my experience is that they are difficult to hold onto and numb when casting. by numb i mean you cant feel where the lead is when chucking and if you cant hold onto it, it leads to sore thumbs and mis timed cast that shoot off in any direction.

its just not a nice rod to fish with imho. but as with more and more rods they are being made as horrible tourny poles which seems to kid folk into thinking that if they buy one they will be hitting 300yrds in no time and other people just feed their egos by owning one, both of which are just kidding themselves.

what people need are FISHING rods mate :p
 
I have got both the tt-r and the eliminator. I personally prefer the tt-r as it has a little bit of give in the tip for feeling the lead through the cast and the bite indication is quite good too, and a lot easier to use. The eliminator though has a tip a lot stiffer than the tt-r, (the but is slightly slimmer and softer though, but really does pull back on the cast, feeling like you are casting twice the weight. bite indication is not too good. brilliant as an out and out cod rod over the heavy stuff, but can be a bitch to use.
 
Andrew you can have a go of mine if you like mate. I have the 14ft one and I personally like it as most of my fishing is done in the heavy stuff and also have a ttr but everyone has there own preference I will bring it to the cleadon club when I'm home over Xmas!
 
ive got both rods. the ttr is more powerful. the eliminator is smoother.

i love them both, if am on the blast beach and wanting distance i take the eliminator.

if am on the south pier (kelp kelp kelp)

- i take the ttr.

the eliminator allows more room for error in a cast.


if i was gonna some all that nonsense up, in a nutshell, i would say the (new) ttr is the daddy.
