Zziplex Bass GT & CT

ZZiplex Bass GT & CT have been developed for anglers who require a lightweight shore rod capable of delivering excellent bite detection, casting performance, and fish-playing control. Measuring 11ft 8in, this rod sits perfectly between traditional beachcasters and lighter bass rods, making it a highly versatile option for modern shore fishing.

Built around the same proven blank design, both models share the same overall length, casting capability, and intended applications. The difference lies within the tip section. This allows anglers to select the model that best matches their fishing style and conditions.

Choosing Your Model

Bass GT (Glass Tip)

The GT features a glass tip designed to maximise bite detection and visual sensitivity. The softer tip responds exceptionally well to delicate bites and subtle movements. This makes it particularly effective when targeting bass, flounder, bream, school bass, and other species where clear bite indication is important. The forgiving nature of the tip also performs well in surf conditions and moving water.

Bass CT (Carbon Tip)

The CT features a carbon tip which delivers a faster recovery and crisper action. This provides a more direct feel during casting and retrieving. The carbon tip handles stronger tides and rougher conditions confidently while still maintaining excellent bite registration. Anglers who prefer a slightly faster rod often favour the CT.

Both models cast comfortably within the 2–5oz range. They perform exceptionally well across estuaries, surf beaches, harbour marks, and mixed-ground venues. The lightweight blank remains enjoyable to fish throughout long sessions while still possessing enough power to handle larger fish and stronger conditions.

The equal-section construction makes transportation straightforward without compromising performance. The balanced design also allows the rod to pair effectively with both fixed spool and multiplier reel setups.

Whether targeting bass along shallow surf beaches or fishing mixed shore marks for a variety of species, this rod delivers the versatility and responsiveness that have made it a popular choice among shore anglers.

Overall, the ZZiplex Bass GT & CT combines lightweight handling, excellent bite detection, and dependable casting performance in a rod designed specifically for modern shore fishing.
