Zziplex Bass GT
There are 2 models in this group – CT (Carbon tip) and GT (Glass tip). The Zziplex Bass rods are produced on advanced composite machinery, incorporating highly accurate CNC fibre pattern cutting by skilled technicians generating reproduceable high performance rods capturing Terry’s original design genius.
The CT and GT rods contain high tensile glass and carbon fibre but in different ratios and fibre placement. The CT and GT tips and butts are different designs and purposed match to their respective sections.
The Zziplex Bass GT is an 11’ 8″ (3.55m) equal section rod with sensitive, predominantly high tensile glass fibre tips to show subtle bites. The tip blends seamlessly into the butt where energy storage can be translated into easy casting.
The GT is very comfortable to use and develops a smooth flowing cast with very little effort. The design cleverly turns effort into distance with maximum efficiency.
The bite detection is surreal as you would expect from both the choice of blended materials and the original designer’s expertise in composite technology.
A classic sporting rod optimised for easy handling over long sessions that favours both mobile and static fishing from a rod casting metal and aerodynamic resin lures ranging from 2oz to 4oz (60 grams to 120 grams).
These rods are incredibly versatile on lighter estuary or beach work for bream, flounder, bass, gilt head bream, wrasse, small rays, pollack and will cope well enough with cod fishing on clean beaches.
They are far from just a single species tool. Nevertheless, they are exceptional for targeting shore bass, particularly when fishing with baits in surf and shallow turbulent water.
