Zziplex 4500

[mikey]

Does anyone own or has used a Zziplex 4500? I currently use a 3500 and a vintage 2500LM and am looking to upgrade. I am achieving good distances with the 3500 but wondered whether the 4500 is massively stiffer?

I feel that the time is right to upgrade and whilst I will never be able to get rid of the 2500 (has too many sentimental memories) I am looking for a second hand Zzipy for general beach duties...any thoughts?

Thanks for your response Spudgun (and also your advice on the plain leads in the shore fishing section). I will send Daz a personal message if he's looking to sell one of his 4500 as they sound ideal for my needs..

daz isnt selling it ..... only up for swaps,

i use a 4500s .. outstanding rods ... weather distance casting or in close with big baits ... perfect rod for anything ... great bite detection as well.

4500 HPM.....great match rod, nice easy action but well capable of handling anything that swims ...

4500 S....... ......got a pair and lovem......pokey, done 240 yards at stenning with mine......but what a tip....true fishing rod that will have as much power and sensitivity as you will ever need , nice and light, slim ......but good luck trying to find one ! gooduns are hard to come by
