At 13
metres the
ZR1 is perfect
for Snake Lakes
and shorter range/
margin fishing on more
open pools. it’s strength
lends itself to margin fishing
for big munters.
The Daiwa ZR1 is brilliantly
priced at £475 RRP with deals
to be had on top of that. You
can also pick up top kits for
the ZR1 from £37 each.
We took the ZR1 Plus out onto a small
commercial pool chasing skimmers. We
were impressed with the response of the ZRI
at it’s full 13m length, it also maintained it’s
straightness and maximum length, meaning we
had a comfortable days fishing. The pole’s sections
fitted into each other smoothly and the arrows on each
section made the job a whole lot easier.
The pole has a very smooth feel to it, making shipping in
and out a doddle, this makes a big difference when playing fish
as a smooth action prevents jerky movements that can lose you
fish. This smooth finish also helps when cupping in bait, meaning
less spills on the way over.
When you buy a product from Daiwa, no matter what it is, you can be
assured of it’s quality and that’s certainly the case with the ZR1 Plus.
The whole set-up looks and performs like a pole of at least double the price and
we wouldn’t be afraid of using the ZR1 Plus for any short range canal and lake
work.
The elastic rating of the ZR1 Plus is up to a
No. 12 on the pole’s Match kits, whilst you can
go up to a No. 20 on the Power kits. Use the
match kits for silvers and F1’s and the power
kits for hauling in carp.
As with all pole fishing it pays to set up a
number of match and power kits so that you
can quickly change throughout the day.
You recieve one match kit and two power top
twos, giving you that flexibility needed.
A cool addition to the ZR1 Plus is
the “Section Alignment System”
which makes it even easier for
you to take sections on and
off. All you have to do is
align the arrows and
you’ll get it spot
on every time!
