20 is a bargain ,i use one all the time , nice easy action for casting 6oz but the tip is a bit soft . i would go for something a bit stiffer if your fishing rough ground/kelp.

Lovely classic zziplex rod,dated yes but so is a Rolls Royce silver shadow.
One of the first Terrys best beach rod he ever made.
You getting a quality rod for £20 could I ask is it carbon or aluminum butt and rod length just under 12ft.

Think I had one the same time as John had his.

hi harry you are right about the dated thing after all the rod tends to be in the rod rest not like a bass rod.

i used to have the 2500 in the mid eighties i think when seaham club had the casting comps at wembly.

i put an 1 ins and a eight dural butt on mine to lengthen a bit did the same wth my super flick tip.

tournament international i picked off ebay last yr is old hat but is my fav rod does out.

actualy it was at seaham casting comp i got my best cast wth the 2500 which i modified 217 yds i believe alan chapman was there that day as well.

i do actualy believe the standard 2500 ptx in the right hands will cast 250yds maybe more.

Agree with you there John,I've still got my Tournament international that Iv'e had for a hundred years,as you know I would never get rid of it but doesn't get used anymore.
Yes outdated but such a classic Zziplex That's worth more to me that all my other rods.

By the way mate still looking for the spigot build up spray,will drop it off for you when it turns up.
