BLACK SHADOW
Hi All,
Has anyone or does anyone know about this rod, from what i have been told there were only ever 100 made,and that they now would be extremly sought after as a collectors piece, well to be honest i have just aquired one and no its not for sale i intend to restore it to its former glory, Ive started to strip the tip as it is rung for fixed spool and looking and testing the blank its a corker, so if anyone can remember or know anything about this rod ide love to hear more about it, the rod itself has a 7ft8in tip with the top 18 or so inches glass and comes with a 5ft and 3ft butt sections of which are carbon, I will probably find out more info tonight when i strip off the shrink wrap
Thanks in advance
MrB |

It looks like it could be a Zzippy ZS Prototype made for an angler called Geoff Gay who fished from the Torbay area in the 80-90's, by all accounts this guy was the mutz nutz in his time, so im well happy having this rod, have already stripped off all the varnish so happy times ahead |
