Fox zandermaster rod

[suffolkzander]

I know the Fox Zandermaster rods are crap and get slated, but I am a tackle tart and as I have broke one, I need a replacement to enable me to have a matching rod setup while I blank...thats blank before you comment thankyou!

So, if you have one and want to get rid of it then let me know and perhpas we can do a deal.

Dont all rush !!!!!

I know this is a old thread

But what is so special about zander that they need their own type of rods

or am i missing something

[suffolkzander]

i dont think Zander need their own rods really as a decent carp /soft pike rod will do so it was probably driven by a "sales" opportunity as essentially you just need a rod capable of getting the size of bait to the fish and then playing the fish in and if you look through the rod suppliers catalogues, you will see all sorts of rods, barbell, method rods, tenchfloat etc etc.

but I like them as they make a good all rounder and suit my zander venues as they do not need a huge cast

I was not knocking the fact you used them ,it was what was so special about z rods ,when i thought a good 1 3/4 tc carp rod would do the same job

another gimmick then ,
like having a marker and needing a spod rod too

[suffolkzander]

thats ok, i know you were not knocking so this is not gonna escalate lol but a gimmick might be harsh, there is a bit of stifnes in the middle of the blank, so deffo not an avon type but not tippy either, hard to explain!!

a 1 3/4 would be a bit light for zander ing i feel as you can have a 2 oz lead and a 4inch bait, so 2 1/4 i would say is a better call

[NICK R]

I would use my bait boat lol to get that size bait and lead out .
gonna do a search ON z rods now to see what the manufactures say
