Only you and your own style of cast can find that out . Wheter or not the rod suits your own style ? If your doin 240 yards you should be able to find out the rods limits prety easily .

240 yards is a big chuck, is that lead only?

The ZTI won't pose you any problems at all but it's not a given that you'll gain yards just with the rod.

Do you cast alot? Where are you based we have a casting club too.

Cheers.

ya thats lead only!! ya i do a fair bit of casting and definatly would like to join your casting club.im from cork and theres nobody really casting down here so maybe your next date i will try to get up to ye,do you think it would be worth getting a converted tournament reel? and where would i get one?

ZTi is capable of very big distances as long as you have the technique to get the most from it.

Like a lot of rods it is more the person casting it than the rod itself.

Here is some footage of the ZTI with 175 & 125 Grams

Very well put Jeremy!!

Great clip as always, many thanks. Are ye back home yet?

DK you're more than welcome to attend any meet, at present it's once a month but hopefully some good news pending that will change. Keep checking here for details etc..

PaddyC is the man for the reels 136 at last count, check out a few at a meet and see what you like, loads on ebay and here at times too.

God help us is you get a fast reel and and .31 line, the court might not be long enough!!

Steve ,

The stepping has only allowed me to time my hit a bit better and get better sinker position as i am allowing the lead to get up to the right hight and step outside of the tip as i commence my turn.

Overall distances are slowly coming up and after what i learnt from my trip to the UK , Belgium and the USA i hope to improve on that a bit more.

I am still in the states and have just got back from Cabela's tackle and sporting store where I picked up another toy that may turn into a comp reel.
