Zziplex 2500ptx.

There's an old saying... "The Oldies Are The Best"...

And here I have to agree, today was my first proper fishing session with the Zziplex 2500ptx, and all I can say is 'WOW'. She throws a baited trace as well as any other High End Rod I've owned and has some seriously good bite detection. I Hooked 3 Coalies on it today, and even in the howling wind she showed the bites up Impecably. I possibly wasn't using her for what she's designed for today as I took her to a rough ground mark, But the Rod, Paired with a 525 Mag seemed right at Home dealing with the Terrain.

can't wait to go flattie bashing with this babe!

zippy club

we should start a zippy club on here....


have to agree.. the zippy's are a flippin good rod to cast with.. even down to bite detection with my 3500s a coalie smaller than my goldfish is noticeable, but enough strength to lift a good ray..

must try pairing up mine with the sl30sh sometime..

whats the difference between the 2500 ptx and the 2500 lm

Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:40 pm

i have the LM and its a light match but my one has a powertex butt so I think the 2500 PTx has the powertex butt. I may be wrong ????????
