here is a short video clip that i was able to put together thanks to Graham Johnson for kindly lending me his rod and new QTC 5500 Low mount reel.
A very nice outfit and one which I was using alongside my own TTLD.
The rod is very nice being the same overall length as the TTLD , tip diameter is thinner but the butt diameter is thicker also with a thicker mid section affording it a more powerfull deflection when loaded with a 125 gram lead alongside the TTLD.
For the casting I used 100 grams for both rods and you can see the other clip in an earlier post.
Overall the performance in regards to distances were basically identical but I was not really belting them as I consider both as fishing rods and will always defer to my WR300 for the serious field work.

Re: Zziplex profile on the field
hello jeremy, did you try the profile with the reel in high position,
sheds a whole new light on the rod, on the positive side, for casting
and fishing.

Steve,
Haven't tried the rod with the reel up the rod but if I get the chance I will.
