Re: zipplex profile vs new century tip tornado lite
Hi,
I owned a Tip Tornad Lite and have had a few casts here and there with that zippy. The Profile all the way for me, supervior rod, don't like the tip tornado, too stiff too 'quick', can be very unforgiving casting, thick unforgiving tip as well - I'm sure for lead control when casting but crap bite detection for a light rod, didn't like this at all, one of the few rods I sold and got rid of

Hi Liam,
glad to see your not gone to oz yet.Small world i bought that rod from rob,same reasons that you've stated that i shifted it on after 3months and i hated that thick tip for small bites.I actually used it for bull huss down west at least you could see there bites and runs easy enough
I've been informed that you could be selling something very close to your heart,well as i've told rob i'd def be interested so hopefully all will go well.
Tight lines.
