to be honest, my annubis plus is not as stiff as i thought it would be, i love them.
conoflex have made class rods for years, i snapped my first second hand annubis plus, butthat was my own fault, it had been off the tripod a few times in heavy winds, dont know what previous owner had done either, but it was well used and i was giving it some uber stick that night.
thats has been sorted and is awesome as is the new one i have.
conoflex have been making quality rods for years, dont let anyone put you off, as for the they didnt want to know comment, steve couldnt do nough for me with regards to mine. i have seen lads snap all kinds of rods, never when casting or bringing in a fish, just by riving on, the rod is not designed to pull kelp stalks of rocks or move boulders from the sea bed lol
best to have a few chucks with one and see what you think, have a good of mine, the offer is there, pointless spending good money on a rod then not liking it and selling it at a lose, im off graft until long into the new year, im always out and dont mind. just let me know if you fancy it.
