There are a few diff variants out there so depending on age they can vary somewhat,,
but mainly they tend to have a very progressive action that bends in a "J" curve with excellent recovery speed,
a stiff-ish tip and powerfull power-pointed butt section, well capable of huge distances on the field and can handle any fishing situation thrown at it, more suited to mixed/rough ground and will cast 8oz with bait with ease but best suited to 5-6oz.

not to sure how old this rod is but i know the butt dia is 25mm, so maybe its a new enough version.it is the 13,2 ft rod. thanks for the info. looks like there's another zippy on the way!
