The ZF - Zziplex Fising - has been discontinued for some years. However, it was a through action rod with a fairly stiff tip. Nice for slow and easy low reel style

found this on it hope it helps a bit

spoke to Terry today.

he made 4 of the Genesis model in 1995.

1 was given to Neil Mackellow to use in the world champs ( he won i think)

the rest were sold.

he says they were the fore runner to the primo range.

comes with a powertex butt

hope this helps.
