[QUOTE=MK2750;1929727]And here lies the problem with shoot outs. Obviously
the person that purchased this rod thought they were making a good choice and have now decided to sell after three uses. This does not mean you are not going to love this rod. Perhaps he would love it too had he experimented with different lines or fished an area where a 3wt was called for more often.
First day out on the water with a z-axis and I was fit to be tied. When I wasn't bull-whipping or tangled, I was ripping hooks out of fishes mouths before they had a chance to inhale. Now it is my absolute favorite.
Is the new Hardy Zenith really better than a z-axis or is it so similar that the testers cast it effortlessly?
Is the line choices used perfect for every rod in the shootout?
He said he doesnt fish smaller waters enough to keep it....so he said.
The Zenith out performed the Zaxis at close range within 40'...so they say.
And some say the Winston will out perform both...so they say.
Dont get too persnickity on this topic.......
Its just to gather and share "personal" information....soo says me
