Morning lads.just wondeting if anyone has any info on a greys pz300t rod and wen they wrre made.going to have a look at one this weeknd and info would be appreciated.cheers
 
From memory they were of the time as the mk 1 appollo,when grey's made good rods not like the cheaper qlty of today.They were a good rod,pretty pop in there day:cool:well worth a look,if it's right money u will have a decent rod:D
 
I have a pair of them from when they were a quality piece of kit, not very forgiving if you have a pendulum technique that is a bit snatchy, tips varied a lot really stiff to start but then soften a bit with use....as previously said from a time when rods were big and a bit brutish but in the right hands a great piece of kit, personal preference is now for something a bit lighter and slimmer.....biggest mistake I made was cut both of em down for up tiding off lincs coast and in the Humber, wish I hadn't as they are a bit too stiff really!!! Not long after the original 300t a match version was produced never tried one so can't really say how they performed.
 
Thanks for info lads.i googled it to see what came up and some good info about them.all positive comments and good reading.they reckon there a cracking rod and dont cone up firsale to often and when do they fetch over 200 in good condition and as the above member says they were made when greys made quality rods before they went over the water to be made and quality suffered.ile be veiwing today and see what its like.thanks again
 
used to have an Apollo mk1 14ft excellent rod but some of the tackle shops say greys are not as good as they used to be :confused:
I had a problem with my grays fly rod contacted them sorted within 3 weeks.
then I got a pair of brand new grays over trousers when they arrived found them to sub standard phoneD greys they did not want to know.
they only give warranty on rods and reels not clothing.
so I do not buy any more greys products. :mad:

When the mk1 appollo was made,grey's were made in this country,they were very good rods,imo not the same qlty as the zippies but they were very fine rods none the less,then the mk2's came out they were made over seas n the qlty went threw the roof(horrendous)heavy in weight,prone for snapping made with cheap qlty carbon,the mk3's r the same imo if they were any good we all would be using e'm.If uv'e got a mk1 keep it,coz they r the bizz for the ruff stuff n very desirable;)

Morning lads.well went out thurs for couple hours to try the greys pz300t.not fishing just some casting to see whats it was like.first thoughts were its abit stiff to what im used to in the past.been out the game bout 4 year due to back problems.very nice rod but not sure if its for me.mayb another couple of times trying it out and getting used to it and the feel of it mayb it will grow on me.mayb im holding back with it due to back probs or mayb my my back is telling me its a no no if you understand what i mean.i may try it again n see if can get used to it.shame as nice rod and in the right hands will do the biz.probs put it up forsale if cant grasp it.thanks for info replys earlier they were much appreciated.cheers
 
Aye there pretty powerfull rods:rolleyes:
If u have back probs,ever thought about going down the long rod n fxd spool route,easy to bend,easy n light to use:)they really r a pleasure to use,not hernia poles:rolleyes:
 
Hello hound hunter.ile give it another couple of times out and see if get any better with it.probs just me holdind back n been abit warey.i dont mint a light surf rod n dont nint fixed spool.as you they very comfy to use.ile see what happens in the nxt week or two n see how i get on with it n then make my mind up.cheers
