cono flex, Zziplex?

#1 Post by brianbru »

i recently got a cono flex source, its the blue one. its light weight and has a great bite detection perfect for the fishing i do, over clean ground mainly.
for all you Zziplex users which one would match the cono flex the best because the next rod ill pick up just might be my first Zziplex.
what make of rods do you lads use and does anyone else use cf source?

regards

brian

a well known auction-site,

I was having a look at the gb3 and it looks like a cracking rod,

me mate bought the lt14 and it is a cracking rod,

i use the primo match might be a little light for you but it is also a cracking rod.

to be honest most zippies are cracking rods the best thing to do before you buy one is go out with some one that has the rod your interested in and give it a few casts before parting with any money
