Zziplex Ltd. is a family owned company run by the husband and wife team of Terry and Barbara Carroll.
Founded in the spring of 1980 Zziplex Ltd. Terry was able to capitalise on his experience of breaking the British Casting Record several times during the late sixties and seventies.
Every single rod produced by the factory is made by Terry himself, making him the biggest single influence on the casting and fishing scene in the U.K. His creations are much copied but never emulated and can be seen at every saltwater or casting venue.
Anyone who has owned a Zziplex rod in the last 30 years is usually a convert.
With so many outlets throughout the world to take care of, blanks are sometimes much harder to get hold of. Luckily they are always worth the wait.
The UK HOOKS logo on all our rods is your guarantee that Chris Dance has built it, like only he can, producing a superb unique fishing rod made to our own exacting standards or your own specification!! Thats as good as it gets!
ALL THE RODS AND BLANKS LISTED HERE ARE STOCK ITEMS. I DON'T TAKE ORDERS, OR TAKE MONEY FOR ITEMS I DON'T HAVE.IF YOU REQUIRE A BLANK I DON'T HAVE I AM HAPPY TO EMAIL OR PHONE YOU WHEN THEY ARRIVE.I DO NOT LIKE FALLING OUT WITH MY CUSTOMERS AND I FIND THIS IS THE BEST WAY. MIKE TAYLOR.
