Cheers for the comments lads. As for rod types for different ground types I tend to use whatever rod I've got for any type of fishing maybe wrong but I'm not a particularly experienced fisherman but want a good rod. I've had my Apollo m2 since they came out more or less and it's spot on but in a strong wind the tip bounces about too much for my liking. I like the new century range more for the aesthetics really. My two mates have them one has the c curve and the other has the TT I've tried both rods and I noticed on each occasion I could cast a lot further with Both. When people say the TT is too stiff what Is meant by this? As I didn't have any issues when casting a lead out. Also why would it not be suitable for say off a beach with a sand bottom?
Kompressor ss or c curve?

There's no telling big phil I'm affraid. I used a c3ld with 7oz and big bait no bother so I'm sure the ex c curve will. Why would century rate them upto 200g plus bait if they won't do it ?
Good for you mate I have know a lad who cast and 16oz lead and 2 whiteys on an txl it didn't snap but it certainly crippled all I was trying to do was help that lad with his choice as it seems he needed a slightly stiffer rod than the c curve. Just out of interest how many c curves have you had? Pretty sure I know the answer
It's almost impossible I would say get a heavy ground rod and then a softer rod you can get away with 2 different type of rods any were really

wr300 nice rod for Norway, nice tips,
And very useful for pulling in submarines if the nuclear bases get relocated to Tyneside when Scotland gets its independence.
Good rod but overkill for the majority of general fishing work.

I find it a good rod, have no probs with it, it has a decent tip to indicate bites, use it on clffs, beaches, rock marks and kelp beds, its what id take, sometimes after a long session my shoulder aches a bit but that's nowt. I had a oxblood ttr before that but found it to stiff. Plus the wr tip section bends really nice about 4 rings down then the stiff but pulls the sub in.lol

Not for the majority of our coastline it isnt!!
I understand you'll mean it's too stiff but what issues would it cause if any
For fishing these coastlines?

Well mate there it is clear as mud, all the lads have favourite rods, just take what you like and get stuck in with some good bait and you'll be pulling them in, wish I was going.

Sorry mate but I'm a bit old for my gears better than your gear and I've had more rods than you etc. It seems to me every rod you pick up you say is soft. Change the one track mind, rods are meant to bend. Just out of curiosity, why would anyone feel the need to blast two whiting and 16oz out

No I sold the Tt as it was to stiff and he cast it to see if the rod will cope
pighunter I have taken the white tip tape off my new TT and put a spiral of "lilac" mighty bright tape, and wot a transformation, wow its no longer too stiff , it feels lovely and fairly rockets the 200g lead out.... with this I thought id do the same to the c curve I bought off ya and WOW , fabulous it stiffened it up and now casts 200g with ease ..... AMAZING 
only downside is I'd call it PINK not lilac lol

the C Curve will and can chuck 200g plus bait but best suited to a 6oz and bait and that's more than enough for here and for Norway it will also cope with mixed to rough ground I prefer the TT for the rough stuff though
