Hi there,
i don't fish comps myself anymore but if i was i'd be happy out with the conoflex source.The bite detection is unreal the only downside is that it is a tad heavy in comparison to the modern zippys but other than that its the bizz and they can be got at a far less price than on the official conoflex website from a company in england.
From what i can gather conoflex are trying to make it more price competitive.I also had a few casts last week with my friends pz match[the brown one] and loads of power in reserve ,despite been quiet tippy and the bite detection is well lets just say i was extremely impressed.
Enjoy the research

Found to be a little havy compared to similar rods, ut ist very low diamater and is a cracking rod. The Brown PZ Match, have to agree there, i dont use mine that often but its a smashing match tip on it, great bite detection and has a few yards in it when you need them.

one rod

i have three or four for matches depending on the weather /target species if you want bite detection for close to middle distance go for a grauvell heavy spin sensitip 12 or 13 foot will cast 3 oz and bait and will show the smallest of plucks anything after that and your getting into the heavy rods :lol:

and big hairy leads :shock:

I use the primo match great for in close and mid ranges fantastic bite detection on it. if i need to get out a bit further i use a century BB this rod casts with incredible ease and the bite detection is great also.

me neither, im lucky enough to have one of the originals, cracking rod for distance, but lacked bite detection. the new one has a glass tip, sounds lovely
