Zziplex Rods

#1 Post by eochailjake »

Does any body Know of tackle shops in Ireland Cork preferably(with directions if possible) that sells Zziplex rods as i am interested in buying one.
Also if you could recomend a Zziplex with the same or similar action to the Century Kompressor S or Conoflex Celtic Tiger (as i already have these rods) it would be much apreciated. :?:


Ive just read tonights (last nights realy it 2am now) echo and ive read that Peter Horne is having a sale, i heard his name mentioned before in connection with Zzipplexes. What are his prices like and where is he?

Thanks in advance for any help you provide.

I found Peter Hornes shop and bought a new Zziplex HSM blank which he is building for me. He has a lot of quality gear in his place including annother few Zziplexes ( lt 14 and F5000 etc), a number of penn rods as well as a few other good makes and allsorts of reels and other stuff, I think ill get to like the road to blarney. :D

If I had 5000 euro going in to his shop it would be safe to say id leave penniless but with a car full of new gear.
