I use one and can't say it's gone soft. Still use a MK1 Apollo when I know i'm going out and out for heavy ground as it is much stiffer. Got the Nemesis Plus though for roving when I might move to beach or rivers, it's a bit more sensitive with smaller species. Not the same as the old Nemesis Plus but still the one I use more than anything.

Rods are ment to loose there stiffeness after a few years as the fibres etc in them weaken, e.g if you have a flicky rod it may become flicker after a few years use depending up on how many times you use it. I have had the same kind of experience with my stiffish rod i think it has become canny useless 4 really heavy rough ground and seems to struggle to pull decent fish in.
