ZZipys should come with a health warning: caution Zzipplexs are highly addictive.Are you after a rough ground/casting rod or an out and out fishing rod Chris?

Its a cracking rod, will handle 175g with ease and is quite user friendly, a perfect 150g/125g rod that wont bite back too much if timming is off and gives plenty of feedback during the cast.
Nothing like the standard M4, its much better.
Slim, light and very powerful, one of the best zziplex rods out there imo..
