Seems like Zziplex Rods/Blanks are as rare as rocking horse sh11t at the moment, i like the Profile GT i bought from Gerry's, so i thought i would get a second one, matching pair and all that, "no chance", according to Gerry's and Summerlands, the two main Zzippy dealers, there is such a Carbon shortage at the moment that there is at least a 4 month wait. Well i knew VMO had a Profile GT blank in stock so ordered it today, along with rings, reel seat, shrink and whipping threads. The idea being to get Pete,(the bearded rod builder) to build it for me, begger me, his facebook page has vanished. Would you Adam n Eve it.
