Great all rounder,story was had all my rods nicked 12 years ago,mixture of Zziplex Dream Machines for beach and Century 216 in the rocks.So needed one rod in hurry to get me fishing again.
Much looking about at all the options at the time,turned into the ZF250, was a rod looking back, I now regret selling on four years later after that and still got great price for even well used.Fished Our local area,rocks,mixed and clean ground with it.For clean ground would still give any rod today a run for the money,6500's and 0.35mm line.
The trick to fish with it in snaggy ground, was not to fish too strong a main line, ie 30lbs plus and try and winch fish out. I went for Slosh 20 reels with 20 to 25lb line max, 0.45mm, strong leaders, 70lb, with bimini leader knots, and Always a weak rotton bottom link, clipped up attachment for casting and snapping off if snagged,as in not to overstress the blank.Fished like this it proved its worth and had in its time two doubles out, on renouned hard ground marks, Haven rocks and Marden rocks.As Phil says great "fishing"rod, and as good as anything around now!!!
