Hi fellow taffs -- anybody used the zziplex LT 14 for fishing on heavy ground in our area?? The reason I ask is I intend buying a new Zzippy soon for rough ground and distance fishing in our hallowed waters mainly. I have heard all the rave reviews about its casting ability but I am looking for a fishing rod not an out and out tounament rod.I have tried the HST but am not impressed with the bite detection which didnt surprise me cos the HST is definitely a rod designed specifically for casting over grass by much better casters than me.
Cheers YATOES

Please dont move this mods cos I am looking for anglers who have used the rod in our waters not on the clean beaches of sussex etc. (no insult intended towards sussex)

got the lt14, and a very nice rod it is, bite detection is fine, and it casts well, although it will probably end up on ebay soon, as I have just got a pair of primo synchros being built, have cast the lt over 205yds on the field and in the right hands would go a lot further than that. Would recommend zircon or alconite rings, unless you intend on throwing down the rocks, in which case go for bmag's, hope that helps.:g:

hi yatoes, give zziplexmad a pm... hes had every zzippy under the sun, and im sure he'l let you have a few casts of his LT to see if you like it...?:g:

What the hell is a TTR BIG DANNY Rockling sounds like a coloured gentleman from an adult entertainment film.
Seriously though I have been using Zziplex for about 20 years and only ever found one diawa that I have liked almost as much as zzipys and I have tried a few other makes as well and sold them on almost straight away. I suppose I have become a bit narrow minded now and I dont change rods until I have to for some reason.
How much is Big Danny (I just know I am going to regret asking this on open forum) cos the LT14 is £375-00 and if I was going to pay more than that it would have to cast out for me!!!!

Thanks mate I thought I had it all sorted:idea: and now you confused me again :blink: I used a tip tornado a few years back that was a half decent fishing rod and an old mate used the tip tornado sport which he claimed was the best rod he ever had. So now you got me wondering. I think I am going to have to wait a while and see a few of my mates on the match circuit before I decide:g: .
Let me know how you get on with your new rods buddy

Cheers Yatoes

hi there rockling have you evercast a ttr big danny if so how far did you cast

 

[smoothhound123]

hi yatoes dont listen to this rockling ive got all the version of the zzippy lts the are far more suitable for fishing than the ttr big danny if you want a real ttr buy the real ttr not the cheep version

 

[6755]

hi yatoes dont listen to this rockling ive got all the version of the zzippy lts the are far more suitable for fishing than the ttr big danny if you want a real ttr buy the real ttr not the cheep version

Wots going on I didnt real;ise it was confuse Yatoes week ???:blink:
Until yesterday I was in blissful ignorance cos I had never even heard of let alone considered a TTR now you are telling me there are 2 of em!!!!
Trouble is Smoothhound you might have got me wrong I am an angler who can cast a bit but not outstanding by tournament standards when and if needed ( I have done over 200 yards on the rare occasion that I have gone over grass) but I am primarily looking for a good FISHING ROD that can hit distances if needed. If i just wanted a rod that can hit distances then I would have gone for the HST but as I said in an earlier post when I borrowed one to try I found the bite detection not very good ?
I have no interest in casting over grass at all anymore (you dont get fish in a field) .
I am just looking for a good rod for fishing that will handle the heavy fishing of our coast and be able to hit the distances when and if needed but still show the bites.
I have used zzippys for 20 years or more so I find it awful difficult to consider any other what do you reckon on the LT14for what I am looking for Smoothhound?? Cheers m8

 

[smoothhound123]

yatoes like i said ive got the full range of lts i find they got the lot good for distance bit detections great even when your over 200 yrds m8 the ttr is a rod you nead to be built like a brick house if you didnt live so far you could have treid 1 of my 8 lts

 

[rockling]

hi yatoes dont listen to this rockling ive got all the version of the zzippy lts the are far more suitable for fishing than the ttr big danny if you want a real ttr buy the real ttr not the cheep version

so you are saying zzippy are better than the ttr big danny i think you are full off it tight lines

 

[smoothhound123]

hi m8 only asked if you casted the ttr and yes i do think the lts are better than the ttr big danny if i wanted the ttr i wouldnt by the cheaper version

Cheers buddy thats what I was wondering cos that dutch caster danny what ever his name is built like a brick built outhouse thanks again good to hear from people who have used the rods not just read about them
I will wait and hear what rockling says about his ttr's when he gets them cos he seems to be a well respected decent angler but I think its likely to be the LT14 in the end . YATOES
