Little Hooker Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have a zion rod im not sure if its the one your talkin about but if it is, its a great rod. Use it from squiding, surface fish to jus normal bait fishing. WHen i brought it a few yrs ago our mate jack (wacko) who sold it ot me said it was a korean made blank with the sic guides etc. I never leave home with out this rod.

Little Hooker Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Yikes i jus realise that i have the heavy spin rod. Even still it cast lovely from 1.8g squid jigs to 5g slugs and above. I cant agree for value as i got my for $300 yrs ago Edited December 13, 2010 by Little Hooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scienceman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I bought one of the heavier spin rods (SZ 701 SH). Intention was medium large SP's for lizards, estury jew and snapper. This brand is owned by Freddy's Fishing World and manufactured for them. They actively promote them above other well known brands such as T-Curve, probably because they make more margin on them. Unfortunately they dont tell you any of this when you are buying. However saying that they are reasonable quality and very attractively priced (mine was $230). I had a great session on 2 - 3kg flatties last week and it held up well on a ?kg cobia from QLD last month. I compared the action of this rod to several other brands and found the tip action and curve under load to my liking. I can see this rod playing a central role in my future captures and would happily recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boog's Boat Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Totally agree with Scienceman, I was talked out of buying a team Daiwa advantage Rod for the 4 - 8 pound model. It is matched to team daiwa advantage 2500 reel and I have given it plenty of grief. It is my weapon of choice for salmon providing many a laugh for my boat mates when it is totally loaded up.
