what make of rod ?

Carbon metal crest is J curve rod and stiffer than the carbon metal which is more of a C curve rod butt diameter is about 26mm. The carbon metal has a longer tip than butt section so the tip bends smoothly in the cast.

Thought the Crest was a C curve rod and the Carbon Metal was a J curve?
 
Iv had a tippy sort and your looking at 160 for a good 2nd had rod. As for the zippy your looking at 200 to 250 and i like me zippy m4 Evo better its a class rod mint bite detection and light as. Best rod iv owened just hold on till 1 cums up mate
 
tt sport as above up to 160depending on condition . u can get it cheaper than that tho . again rod selection depends on what u want from a rod . as recommended the tt is an all rounder. they are more rods in the market that will cater to different aspects /criteria of what anglers look for in a rod. some rods are stiffer, some are easier to load. some are just more manageable than others. try the tip tornado sport, once u feel that you want more than that in rod then go the next step. hope this helps. u r welcome to try mine if u ever fish horden/roker when i do . :)
 
thanks for all the info and help lads i will have a good think about it. i wil let you all know what i decide thanks again for the help :)
 
The best use of a zziplex rod would be to unblock your drains not much for anything else! Go for century or conoflex zzippies r overrated rubbish

Sorry dave mate can't really help you on the zippy's as i've only used a couple a couple of times so really not up to passing judgement on them.Mind you a lot of guys out there will use nothing but so hopefully one of them might be able to tell you better.
