bought a new toy

Aftermuch deliberation and uming and arging over what rod to go for i've made my decision

was a toss up between a HSM....then a primo syncro came into the equation and then an m4 hi flex.........i do like a soft tip!!!!!

well instead of buying brand new i've just picked this up from a guy who had56 !!!! yes 56 zziplex rods in his spare room!!!!! basically he collected them and was selling this one as it had slipped and scuffed the high build just over the e on zziplex!!! and saved over £170 on a new one....chrome alconites...lovely rod and can't wait to give it a thrashing

well if any of you know me i'm a bit of a tackle tramp and will probably damage this rod more putting it in the car for its first ever fishing trip

there's no competition cuckoo...mikes rods fall off the stand and he looks forward to buying a new real cos he can't face having scratches on them!!! if you pay me a couple of quid the next trip out his tripod might have a collapse and there will be a pair of florida oranges for sale!!!

Glad i got in there before mike other wise he'd have a "full house" of them.

initial thought is that the tip is very similar to my 4500 will be interesting to see how much backbone and power it has and how easy it is get it fully compressed.

anyone want a Century Kompresser S

Re: bought a new toy

I've seen part of Mike's reel collection, he needs help, no he does seriously , just to carry the bloody things.

Dangerous combination.

Mike, alcohol, late night, ebay, credit card. ABU for sale :)
