i'd have to say zziplex although i'm no longer the owner of one

my hst has now a new home

and i've a harrison torrix p3

its a tad bit heavy and stiff but deceptively it bends well casting

and crucially feels quite nice on the hit

no doubt i'll be gettting another zzippy at some point

but there's no rush

unless of course i find my distances receding and then i will be!!

Has to be Zziplex

Favourite model, probably M4, or ZTI, or Full Tournament or or or or or or dammit - too many to choose from and not enough money to buy them all. :evil:

Reason why I like them so much is that zziplex rods have a unique feel to them during the cast.

Just wish I could get my hands on a mint T-Zero

Even a bad days fishing is better than working.

Ok I have been known to clip two green impacts on to the one trace in certain conditions :D

No bother to it at all.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I have a AA Surf. I love it for fishing in close. it just seems to catch fish for me. but Zziplex are better in my opinion, they also hold there value
