Thanks Dbrock :) Christened both rods over the last two nights, had a few dogs on the 50/50 and then I christened the powertex last night with a lovely 5lb bass on fresh razor that we collected yesterday. Well impressed with the powertex, it has a fantastic tip!!!. Dont think ill be buying anything except zziplex from now on!!! Met one of the lads off the site, sorry cant remeber your username on here, but good to meet you anyway lol
Ah yes, 1974, The Cod Wars. I hated Cod so of course I signed up straight away.
