Andy you are a star, thanks mate. dragon, is the Carbonactive the one that retails at around £150, if it is, they are a nice rod, a freind has one in his tackle shop, but he still recomended the zebco to me, so im happy, he recons they are almost on a par.

Hi Newt all three tips are definetly glass, i bought it last week while at the NEC, ive used it three times, and it copes with big fish very well for such a sensetive rod, zebco use a composite caled df, and you can really bend the rods in half with no problem, at the show i lifted a 2lb weight on the rod. They are so confident in the material used they give a lifetime warenty. i wanted something to replace a rod i had borrowed from keith truscott, i had fallen in love with his rod, a leeder barbel combo, and knew it had to go back soon, and this rod fited the bill perfectly. keith if you are there lurking , i just want to say thanks, you have made me buy some decent gear, at last [ 10 March 2002, 02:22 AM: Message edited by: Gray-Catchpole ]

i recently purchased this rod, and i am very happy with it, but i have a few questions. the rod comes with three tips, one 1.5oz and two 2oz, is this right, i though i should have either a 1oz or a 2.5oz, rather than two 2oz`s. the other question is, are there any reviews of the rod, ive searched all over the net and cant find a thing. i know it was reviewed in angling times, a while back, does anyone still have a copy. thanks

lolol oh dear, Darrell caught a pike, it started off a personal best, but once it was out of the current, quickly turned into a 5lb fish great fun. we fished the feeders until 10pm ish but all we had was very small fish, we did see a nice chub being caught, but non came to us, oh well, roll on the new season. very clean nets
