Zziplex rod

No then it's definately a wrong one! It was 2 equal sections 12ft + reducer
Glad I went with my gut instinct

if you are not sure about the rod just stay away save your dosh there are a lot of zipplex rods come up for sale on neesa from good sellers and you can find out there background ,
my advice think again m8, I got a great deal of my m8 on a zipplex sst and its a mint rod well pleased.

Think the last time TC (Zziplex) made a 12' rod was the early 2500 about 25 years ago. Even then they were an 8' tip and a 4' butt.

About as certain as I can be that it is a knock off in the hope of parting the unwary from their cash, watch out for it appearing on fleabay next...

I doubt if the shop in ashington has ever had a zeteque in, never mind one of dubious origin and poor build quality.I think endurothumper's probably right and somebody's being a bit of an ESRA!!!!!!!!!

zziex rod

The zziplex labels are all wrong zziplex one is from wrong decade its frm 80s or 90s wouldnt touch unless for 200 and then not sure 280 needs to be better build

zziplex

Also zziplex dont do seconds and even if gemuine blank something seems amiss with it best avoid

[hound hunter]

Stewarts right,terry carrol @ zziplex only supplies blanks to the trade for them to build up,looks to me like an old rod done up to look like a zippy,tread with caution me thinks
To much cash anyways

[Tonygdodds]

I offered him 150 as a tester he said yes..... Don't think anyone would part with a genuine zippy for that
Shame though I had my heart set on it, but now I'm gonna save for a brand new one, there's one in I'd fishing if I can get it cheap I'll pay for it re-done new rings etc

[Tonygdodds]

Been to a tackle shop & showed some photos of the "fake" zziplex
He didn't think it was a zziplex but wasn't 100% certain his thoughts were an amorphous whisker Kevlar which he reckoned was a cracking rod & his opinion much better than a zziplex

[hound hunter]

Thought so much,sounds dodgy with the description.
Treat your self to a new rod,or a s/hand one,plenty of very nice/tidy rods about.
I bought a custom made bullet gt,built by chris dance off me pal,he was short of cash at the time,only paid £250only used a handfull of times,wasn't a mark on it.
So the bargains r out there buddy,regards daiwa awb's or awt's keep with your zzipplex,u won't be dissapointedBest of luck with it all.

[Tonygdodds]

I have my heart set on a zziplex anyway just dnt know which model, I've text the lad who's selling & surprisingly havnt had a reply! Iv said without being able to verify the exact identity of this rod which could be anything from a £10 cheap & cheerful to the genuine thing so at the miniute I wouldn't pay more than £50

[hound hunter]

me pals just bought a dymic lt 14 ,very very slim with a gr8 tip,he loves it
It all depends on wot u wan't weather u r after a fishing rod or a casting/rock poker.
Enjoy your new tool when u get it,u will love it

Alright mate it's worth every penny these rods are mint for the cliff tops or rock edges

How wud ye nar richy

Rod

Hi mate I'm from Newbiggin and the tackle shop you are on about ( CD Tackle) was my uncles. Its shut now he sold up years ago this rod isnt from there.
It looks very much like a mate of mines rod as his Zeteque sticker was on this was and he sold it this year on here. Andrew Sanderson.
I may be wrong but try getting a hold of him on here. I will tell him to check out this post.
If it is his its a genuine rod but I agree with the lads its slightly overpriced at £280.
I would say £250 absolute max
