Thanks for that Chic!

You are welcome. Now remove the temptation and buy it. Any rod that compares to the Zenuth as well as the Zephrus did is worth having.

Hey Brian - I am currently looking for a Zenith in this exact flavor. But have been giving some thought to the Zephrus just to see what I think of it. Have you ever cast any of the Zenith to compare? Maybe you could sell me on it.

I have the 8’10” one piece 4 wt Zenith, but haven’t cast the 5 wt Zenith. Tough to compare apples to apples, as my impression is the one piece series was fairly unique.

I've had a 9-ft 5-weight 4-piece Zenith, then the same rod as a Zephrus. I found a 5-weight one piece Zenith. Worlds better than either the 4-piece Zenith or Zephrus. Liked it so much I also got a 4-weight one-piece Zenith. Astoundingly good rods up close to far away. A total point-and-shoot rod. If you can deal with an 8-ft 10-inch rod that doesn't break down into pieces, it's worth looking for one of the one-piece rods. Hope this isn't confusing....
