Advice New Rods Advice Needed

Rossco is an excellent builder. He has a Century/Zziplex account. His work is amongst the very best you'll find anywhere

That's great to know thanks @Topwater the work I've seen so far looks amazing

 

[Topwater]

I can vouch for his builds. Attention to detail is second to none. I believe there might be a waiting list but it will be worth it

In Shoreham Harbour by the power station, with a fishing rod like that you would be casting to the other side of the dock.

So what rods are you looking at for while you’re waiting?

 

[Cwab]

Tell me they're not some of the sexiest rods you've seen

Check out if not done Facebook “marketplace” some rather sensual little numbers down your neck of the woods
Zziplex, century, the whole works

If I go for these I will just put up with my current rods for now lol I still want to get hands on a Fireblade GT first to make sure I like the feel of them but I think these might be the ones

Best not lay hands on a Zziplex m4 gt, there are one or two used ones on marketplace not too far away from you

I've been looking @Cwab I've seen some Century Graphex Super Match apparently mint condition £650 pair but I'm just mindful of having no warranty if something goes pear shaped

Yes, fully understand but what is life without a little risk, would have them on personal insurance regardless unless old rods, there are usually some very nice examples to be had from private sellers who are hooked on rods like most of us

Agreed there are some bargains out there to be had and there's definitely alot of rod addiction out there too. There should really be some help groups available. Thinking about it I might start one, Rodaholics Anonymous, could be a good source for new rods

Interesting plan but too many dealers out there and rod builders offering pimping services also the various cults some worshiping the dark and black. Rods and their “ actions” much like women and never really know till having had one and used for a while
Have heard of secretive rod clubs where some angling and flagellation evenings take place, remember first rule of rod club, there is no rod club you may be contacted

 

[Cwab]

That would work too lol

A target rich environment
