i am sure one of my old mates had one back in the very early 90s, think they were a mid price range rod( as he was greedy and didnt like to part with his readys ) fairly decent , as i remember he used it on quite a few rock marks but he always said bite detection was awful. I did have a few casts with it and the nearest i rod i could compare it to would have been my old kompresssor sport

Hello,
When Pateke Morton changed to Century in the early 80's the "Tiger" range was one of it's first range of rods along with the Formula Range,
Most of the "Tiger" range had slim butts with push in tips and several had a distinctive kevlar spiral around the lower half of the tip. There were several models in the range topped by the 255 TSS.
Some of the models were tweaked a bit and included in the later "Formula" range with the formula one being the forerunner to todays tip tornado rods.
I can't remember much about the 175 but I can try and find out if that's any help.
Regards Ian

Hello John-k,
I've been looking through some old mags and I found this advert for the "Tiger" range from back in 1984, no mention of the 175 though but a friend of mine may well know.
Still there's a fair bit of info in the advert.
