New Zziplex

#1 Post by Deleted User 689 »

Hi lads looking to buy a new zziplex was thinking about the primo synchro i am looking for a fishing rod and something to do a bit of casting with i bought a 4500s a few weeks ago and find its more of a mixed to rough ground rod as my casting is not great i find the 4500s a bit stiff . by the way dose anybody know if can you fit a 24 reel seat to the new model synchro
Cheers Will

firstly welcome to the Zzippy club :D

i thought the 4500s was the match version? oh well.. any way, i have had the privilage of casting the primo (thanks MC), its an excellent rod for casting and from what i've seen of its bite detection it will pick up on the smallest bites as well,

as for the reel seat i'm not sure, but if you use a multiplier use coasters..

dont know if thats any help to you, but its my honest opinion :)

The butt diameter on the Synchro is 24.5mm including the factory fitted shrink tube....so the answer to your question is no....you may be able to ream a little out of a size 24 reel seat and get it to fit but IMHO coasters are the way to go, as long as you get good ones.
