Conoflex Anubis 14 ft Optimum Casting Wt. 6 ozs

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’
