zziplex 2500m

hi all
just a quick question about a 2500m what size should the butt section be

i have a 2500m with equel 6 ft sections the original.
and i have a 2500lm 8ft tip and 5ft powertex butt hope this helps.

john........

thanks john
do you know where i might pick up a but section. bought a 2500m and the but section is shorter than it should be (a friend picked up the rod for me) so i only got half a rod

can it not be repaired or extended/ what lenght is it tip and butt
as long as the joint is good im sure you could put something together.

talk to tom aka known as rockhopper he knows alot about zzipys,,, he is here on the site pm him he will only b happy to help,,

thanks lads
john there is an 8ft tip and the butt is cut to about 3ft (who would do that to a zzipy).i think it beyond repair it is raw.i was talking to paddy c and i hope to get it sorted.thanks again lads

The equal section 2500M was a special called the Gemini, they were made for Nigel Forrest at BreakAway, I had one of thos and would give anything to have one now....fantastic rod. The standard 2500M had an 8' tip with a 5' butt section and as a match rod probably caught more fish than all other rods put together until the plug got pulled on them about 12 years ago.

i got the 1250m not that good at all...... waiting for a while longer till i can afford the 2500

Has your rod got 1250 written on the label ? if so could you post a photo of the label, it may be a special, Terry has done some funny things in his time and some of the rare rods can be worth a bob or two.
