ALLRIGHT MATE,
i have two NEMISIS one 13ft and one 14ft both excellent allround rods,really good for distance and heavy ground well worth the money.
Regards
IMHO
Best rod from your selection is without a doubt the 14ft mk1 appollo. Many top anglers are going back to using these!
Very versatile rod that will do everything reasonably well. A pleasure to use and very sensitive in the hands, very important if you want to feel a bite!
The zzipy is a pedigree rod but its a light beach rod and not a great allrounder.
As for rods snapping - they all do if you abuse them or cast with a tight arc or twist the blank when casting.
no they are not mate the mark two apollo are crap but the mark one is the mutts nuts. as for rings cracking not if they are proper fuji ones,had my mark one for years now and it has hit the deck more times than i can remember and its still the original rings, the mark one apollo or the nemis plus wallsendo with the apollo being the best
Your right mate, MK 1's are the mutts nutts... a little bit more attention to detail and we discover they also have different type Fuji rings. Much stronger than the newest ones. They were also built in the Alnwick factory before the MK 2 was launched and consequently produced in China. Sorry mate... but I still stick to my guns with this one, quite a few tackle dealers are fed up with complaints with the new one's and now refuse to stock them.
like one man said earlier ,its not the best priced rod a man will catch with ,its with hes bare hands and the skill and on the day that man should be worthy of his catch
Well sorry to go against popular belief but I love my Mk2 Apollo ,casts great and not had a problem with bite detection either ,it's been over a few times so it's scratched but not broken and in my oppinion a canny rock rod , however I did snap my Triplex as I'm sure some of you may remember ,a very soft rod and at 16ft quite a tool in the right hands ,great for a clean beach.

Went with the Nemesis Plus (13ft)...the Appollo was quite tatty. Also got an Okuma Magnetix...so I'll be practising with it all on friday night
Cheers for all input

Great rod mate. I've got 2. They are a bit stiff like but great for rock fishing. A very good workhorse of a rod imo. I also use it for fishing piers and beaches, however if you are going to fish the beaches loads a rod with a softer tip will get you a few extra yrds.
I've also got 2 greys rods, a syntra beach rod which i love, get a good cast and i'm not the best caster in the world. I use 6 or 7 oz weights and big baits and it seems ok. I also have a spinning rod that pulled a 6lb+ pollock up over some big rocks on probs.
