Where are ye all going for the zziplex rods? I'm in Cork and have never seen any around. Have never been to Peter hornes tackle shop and I don't know where it is.

I have had a few different zippys but I still cant go past the zf250 for beach work, I would have to say any of the penn 525's although I would use the mag extra more. I bought a zziplex powertex bass rod last year for £80 of a tackle tart who used it twice, and to be honest its starting to make an impression on me.

For general beach and mixed ground its a century kompressor ss and 525 mag for heavy ground conger and huss fishing its a greys apollo mk2 and slosh30. For heavy wrasse and estuary work its a greys bze 12ft 6 with a slosh20 and for light wrasse, float and spinning its a 9ft ugly stick with a zebco rhino reel

an original shakespeare k2 15ft and daiwa 7ht mag or penn 525 mag extra
