zziplex bullet

#1 Post by zziplex »

lads how does the bullet compare to the other glass tip zzippies such as the hsm the m4 high flex match and the new m4 evo gt. i had a hsm and did not like the tip action i felt the tip was too soft for the butt section is the tip of the bullet firmer .the new bullet is 13ft would it be possible to get a 14ft version any info would be appreciated regards paudie

Hey Paudie
Yes the new bullet has a stiffer tip than the likes of the HSM's, Hi-flex's,,,etc,, but simular to the M4-evo GT. (bullet is maybe a tad stiffer).. It is a cracking rod for med to all out rough ground and a beast on the field, tones of back bone and a very stiff (short M427) butt section. One of the best rods from Zziplex in a long time IMO... 11/10

for a 14ft one just order a full lenght M427 butt and bullet tip.
Hope this helps
