vanursepaul Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks to my buddy at Rye Patch, I got to swing the ZED for a couple of hours last week and was impressed ---- It feels lighter to me than swinging the 2300---balance i suppose---- i used it with and without that crazy outrigger and either way was fine with me. But im still not buying one....lol-- Trying to be a drywasher now---(but it wont quit raining )---and even with the rain--- the creeks are low and too slimy to walk for fear of breaking an ankle -- This year has been very trying for me---and a few others too.... Need to back up and punt!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yeah gotta agree, tried that crazy outrigger myself, bit like trying to sail a cat up a creek that`s only mono wide. But the hipstick, tis a beauty, although broke the belt plastic "clip" other day( am a wee rough on gear), hour or so with a piece of 1/8 Al sheet, snips and hammer and back up to speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Vic, I told Chris Porter (hipstick inventor) that you had a piece break---he asked me if i would let you know he has a new one in the mail to you. There you go!!! Thanks again for the specimens! paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Many Thanks for that Paul & Chris. I made one from a piece of Al sheet, shaped as per original one, it is working good, no drama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
