14 foot , casts upto 8oz with bait , really good condition , black and gold whippings . heavy ground rod , but designed to be castable and not break your back . 1st to see will buy at this bargain price of £ 150 ... new these rods retailed at over £400
here's what conoflex have to say about it -- Conoflex Anubis 14 ft Optimum Casting Wt. 7ozs
The Cono-flex Anubis range of rods were the inspiration of Alec Harvey and Bob Gascoigne, two of the top Geordies on the North-east angling circuit. These two lads felt there was a demand for a new Cono-flex beach caster, specifically for their area and offered their services for design and testing.
The qualities required of this rod were straight forward;
•This rod needed to be powerful to cast big baits good distances, but not break your back whilst doing so.
•It needed to show good bite indication, but not fold up as “guts” are an important factor for when retrieving through rocks and kelp, characteristics of the rugged North-east beaches.
•Also a light, well balanced rod that was not going to be cumbersome causing you to lose your footing on the rocks.
•Finally as longer rods are of the modern trend these days it needed to be 14 ft in length.
The Anubis 6 oz is a fishing rod with a more forgiving action, the tip pulls through more, locking up slowly into the stiff slim butt. Great bite detection, it casts a dream. A very competent rock rod. Top Wearside angler Jim Dobie gives this one the ‘big thumbs up’
So for the Anubis 7 oz Alec and Bob tried the 6 oz rod and liked it but said it still needed more, for where big fish and thick kelp was a problem. So we did the maths, calculated the Carbons and got it right. ‘Best rock rod this century’
Alec and Bob have used Cono-flex rods all their fishing lives, so when they say it’s the best Cono-flex have done for a long time you can really believe them.
