    Thanks for watching it John 🙂. Yes, the Zepp is a nice smooth reel, and as you say no rattles etc. It has a high set narrow line lay but doesn't suffer from line stick. I have a 4 and a 4 3/4 models and the line pick up on the retrieve is good on them both due to the high set line lay. Nice...

    Plus or Specimen?

    The normak rods bend round easier than the acolytes which on some small rivers can make it very alkward (for me) to prevent chub from getting into the inside banking (even the opposite bank) and either transferring the hook into vegetation or getting snarled up in it. I recently made a couple of...

    Plus or Specimen?

    Your welcome Jamss, I just hope the footage helps you decide which one to go for if you do plump for one 👍.

    Plus or Specimen?

    I used the plus for a number of years with no issues. When the specimen was released I got one right away, like the plus an excellent rod, but it has more power. Whichever you go for I doubt you'll be dissapointed 👍. This was a video I posted whilst using a plus for chub .... I think this...
