some advice {opinions please}.

The m4gt is/was know as the m4 evo gt

I believe he just knocked the "evo" bit off, same on the Profile GT

If that helps.

Its a bit hard to compare though.

Its like asking what's better between a Ford fiesta and a small BMW or Audi

Zziplex (if you look after them) retain their value and are easy to move on.........if you can bring yourself to let them go.

M4gt nice low diameter rod with a great tip,surprising how well they behave in windy conditions and loads up well when casting.

Mind profile evo and gt are the future 😊

thanks for replies @ offers lads,m4gt thats the one,cheers steveG.sorry about that steward 1971.anyway ill leave it anothercouple of days.im beginning to think buy of buying a leeda icon blank then letting say fishfingers do it up personally for me with the best rings on the market.cheers.ps,thanks for your opinion bob c via pm. its looking like a tricky one,could save myself £150+ aswell as having my own personell rod made?

hi reg I am also thinking of a leeda icon had a look at one in frasers nice looking rod for the price , went back they next day and both rods sold.
nets at Hartlepool did have the full range in stock ?.
at the moment I have a zipplex sst that I got off my m8 and its a cracking rod , but I could never afford the buy a new zipplex on the old state pension.

[regpude]

morning dale as said its catch 22.question for you then if you had the money which one would you opt for zipplex or a personlised leeda.

I know when I got the match from nets the rod was last one in stock. ......all sold out that just shows how good they are. For people who don't have die hard century or zipplex money which I dont now they are the definite choice for the masses lol. alconites or kwags and you have a £ 250 rod!!!. I even know steady (col) has moved away from century and bought a power and match they are that good!! Hes always ravin on about them!! ;-)

[garyp]

As far as I know you can't get the leeda as a blank.

I'm sure Stan bought one and stripped and rebuilt it.

Me pal has the Icon m sport power and its a great piece of kit 13'10"casts up to7oz really nice looking rod has got a great feel to it and well worth the money but I wouldn't swap him for M427its just the best rod I have ever had
it just oozes quality am sure what ever rod you decide on reg you will have a decent rod to fish with m8

[regpude]

well thats put the cat amongst the pigeons,broon shoe.as said got the money for zipplex,but still thinking about personalized leeda.surely you must be able to buy a leeda blank some were.seems daft having to strip a new rod down for the sake of rod rings.

morning dale as said its catch 22.question for you then if you had the money which one would you opt for zipplex or a personlised leeda.

the zipplex I would defo go for, its an excellent rod and its a comfortable rod to use , got this zippy sst of my m8 excellent condition as he has more rods than frasers tackle shop.
I would also purchase the leeda icon sport or power so I have two rods.
going to get one some time this year
and would sell the ron Thompson axellerator nice rod but heavy for me .
if you want to have a go of my zipplex sst I can pop down give it a try you are more than welcome.

its your cash reg and your choice m8 tight lines with the new rod , let me know your opinion on the rod once you have had a few outings,
I intend to buy one myself later on in the year
possible the icon match or the power

[spongebob]

Great stuff reg you wont be dissapointed the ultra power is the daddy of the range "your" rod has pulled 300lb fish in from the shore.....quality is not a issue
