Bass CT
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.
Description
The Zziplex Bass CT is an 11’ 8″ (3.55m) equal section rod with a fully carbon fast tip action suited for stronger tides and windy conditions.
The CT is slightly stiffer than the GT version that casts further than you would expect from such a lightweight and slim rod. Very responsive tip for indicative bite detection.
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 5oz (60 grams to 140 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.
