zziplex v max f2

#1 Post by beachbuddy »

Hi all,
just a quick query.I'm thinking of getting a zippy v max f2,my question is basically would it be fair to say that the rod would be more at home on clean ground match style fishing.What if any reports on the rod would people have on it and does anyone have one for sale,or know where one can be bought.
I know this should more than likely be in the tackle q+ans section but thought i'd try here first to see if anyone knows first hand on its capabilities on a fishing and casting front and to see if anyone knows where i could get one 2nd hand or new.
Thanks

For a reasonabley priced one best chance would be e-bay or on the likes of World-Sea Fishing for sale section other wise check this out for a new one:

i sold one to another member on here a few months back, very user friendly slim/light but deceptivly powerfull blank.
Through actioned with a very forgiving butt, progressive mid-section and firm tip, ideal clean to med rough ground, at a push id say it would just about cope with proper rough, as for casting its an excellent 100/125g rod, lightning fast recovery, very enjoyable to use.
