Well after a very short time and with the help of a fellow Aussie TT member, I found one on Buyee.

Fingers crossed it gets to me in one piece, or at all. [-o<

Shall do!

I'm thinking of putting a Zonda 68 with honeycomb spool and 8lb sniper FC on it.

Wondering if it would make a good spinner bait (around 7-9grams) rod. Originally I bought it for soft plastics but curious to see what else it works well with.

Congrats, i found it to be extremely versatile. 1/16-1/8oz bottom contact baits, keitechs, and topwater/jerkbaits up to 1/2oz

You tell me, I had a rod shipped to my door from megabass jp in less than a week, and im waiting for like a month and half to get one from a major us compagny... And they say they dont ship to Canada, so I had to make it shipped to the us store then back to me. I just dont get it.

Gratz for your new secret weapon !

Good stuff mate!

Mine is coming to me from Buyee in the next few days.

I'll definitely keep one eye on Buyee from now on. It's like a unicorn stud farm...

Glad you were able to find one!

What year was this rod released other than 2015? Can someone post pictures of both please?

The rod has great specs from what I see. Found a new 2015 model on Ebay. Incoming. \:D/

Nice! Mine is on the way as well. Supposed to be a sweet little rod.

Mine is in Singapore.... Shouldn't be too much longer.

I got a bit excited when I bought it through Buyee that I forgot to ask if it was going in a hard cardboard tube. When I sent an email yesterday to ask how it left, they said they can't confirm as it had already left.

I hope it gets here ok.

Rookie mistake :doh:

Buyee is a little tricky. I haven't ordered because I've been a little hesitant. Hope everything works out for you!

If it goes pear shaped it's always insured apparently.

Next time I'll ask for it to be repacked in a hard tube.
