New rod reccomendations

[<(Andy2009)>]

Had a WR300 and absolutely hated it, far too stiff and unresponsive for all but the heaviest ground fishing. Not a nice rod to cast either, and I speak as a one time 240 yard caster.

What is your budget? If you are looking at a Zziplex and the Bullet Hi-Flex another option would be the M4 Evo, lovely rod very light, slim and a joy to cast. Will handle beaches and pier work with ease and won't let you down on the odd rock edge session. Another option is the HST, big brother rod to the Primo Synchro which is my absolute favourite rod.

Don't be afraid of going second hand for a ZZiplex either. Both my Primo Synchro and Dymic LT Bullet were bought second hand and they are in excellent nick for half the price I'd have paid new. As long as you can have a good look at the rod and manage to avoid the chancers (and unfortunately there are a couple on here) you can end up with a cracking rod for not a huge outlay.

A never had that problem when using a mates WR300, but I found the tip to be, how can a put this..... a bit 'floppy' for me.

I now have and use a Century TTR Big Danny and its the dogs hoo haa's. What a piece of kit, a could rate it highly enough if a tried. Used it off the rocks, pier, river and works great every where. Designed to be a casting machine but fishes like a dream.
