  Had mine 3 years now, really a good package, you should be able to do a reasonable deal now.
  
  After sales has been good and yes I have broken sections however mine gets some stick and mostly my fault.
  
  However Browning have been prompt with spares, counts for a lot in my book, mostly within the week.
  
  It’s not the best for silvers but the range of tops accounts for all types of fishing had carp to 17 lbs +, good for skimmer and roach fishing as long as you get the set up right, spot on for fishing up in water on a commi, it has good recovery on the strike.
  
  I would not look anywhere else, consider the z9 if you want something more suitable for silvers that will do carp….
  
  Had Brownings since the 7500, 910, Club France so yes a bit biased (Not Sponsored) go down the bank there are plenty about have a wiggle on one…..
  
  I am sure there are other good packages out there but……. you gets what you pay for

  also have a look at the z8 if you can very good pole for the money and imo not far of the z12 in performance, and a stronger pole.

  ive a z12 its a fantastic pole to use stiff straight n very strong I’ve also got the margin pole to go with it and if I’m fishing shallow I fit the margin pole to it it makes it a bit more whippy to slap rig I’ve also o the ultra pole for short work top 6 with proper power elastics of bagging waters.you won’t be disappointed buying the z12 I bought a daiwa air had it 6 wks n got shut it ain’t a patch on the z12

  Fish my Z12 at 14.5 all the time with the dolly in, it’s a true length so guess it’s nearer to 15 mts.
  
  Can’t fault it for rigidity and as I mentioned very little slop when striking brilliant for up in the water when you could be getting lots of liners and need to drop straight back in.
  
  Can’t really fault it, except don’t try floating it if that is your thing (God forbid), it fills with water quite quickly with the side puller kits, and you can expect a break if you try to lift.
  
  Only bad report I’ve heard was a guy protesting because the graphics rubbed off on his….. I banged his head!
  
  Just do It……. !

  I used a z12 for just over a year. It’s a very good pole and the joints don’t wear out quickly.
  I hated the tops for light elastic though, what ever I tried with the 3.5 and 4.0mm tops the elastic always stuck inside.
  Looking back, I should have tried using the 5.5mm tops and double bushed them.
