Early 65th birthday present to myself, found a pair of mint Zziplex Bullet Hi-Flex Mk1's to add to my collection, going to pick them up next Monday. šŸŽ£

Off to Gray's in Essex in the morning to pick up the Bullet Hi-Flex's, only a 5 1/2 hour round trip. ;)

And here they are. (y)

Only downside with the rods is the reducers are glued in along with the reel seats. :( But I knew this when I bought them. No biggie.

Oh, and foams grip just below the decal. :(

The only difference between the Rods is the Guides.
Left one BCKWAG.
Right one CCKWAG.

I don't drive, but my partner Karen does. She kindly offered to take me, I tend not to ask her to keep running me about if I can help it. (y)

I had a pair of mk1's the only problem I had with them was the butt was mega thick but very good rods I sold one and took the other abroad we're it still remains

These are Mk2's Mike, so the butts are longer and not as thick as the Mk1's. But I have big hands so wouldn't be a problem anyway.:)

Well it looks like I am off to Bexhill-On-Sea tomorrow, my partner Karen has bought me a zziplex Dymic LT 14 for my 65th, which is tomorrow, and she is taking me to pick it up. :)

Happy Birthday for tomorrow.
Lovely rods.. Had bullet Gts stupidly sold them and replaced them with T900s which I regreted.. No longer own those either..
As I get older I have found I am enjoying using lighter kit mostly I guess its easier on ageing joints..
The days of swinging big old rods are quickly diminishing as is the need to own lots of rods or even fish a pair.
Down to 4 rods now.
TTlite.Mk1
Profile Evo.( century built blank)
TTSM Mk1

The above are all rods I realised over time are my favourites and all of them I had, sold and now have aquired again.
Graphex Sport. ( Gets little use these days but like to at least have a heavy option.)
Strangly (to me at least) it reminds me of my old synchro.. even though its nothing like it
 
Thanks for the Birthday wishes mate. (y)

Now I will need to find another Dymic LT 14, got to have a pair. šŸŽ£ So if anyone has or knows of one going please let me know.(y)

Ian.
 
Well not long back from Bexhill-On-Sea, made a day of it with our little Shi-Tzu Molly, traffic was hell their and back, but a nice day all in all. Picked the Rod up and then drove along to Eastbourne and had a chat with Tony ie Tony's Tackle, was hoping he might have had some second hand zzipies in, but alas not one. :( Then went on the prom for lunch.:)

Thank you for all the Birthday wishes..(y)

Ian.

The Zziplex Dymic LT 14 is very neat, Karen did well, unground blank with Minima 4 stainless steel guides and reducer. All in all a nice rod.šŸŽ£
Spigots a bit tight, but soon sort that out with good old 3in1 with PTFE. šŸŽ£
