the best conger rod i know of is the Zziplex Bullet or Bullet Sport there very sought after by the conger chasers. I used to have one and its a right animal but has a great tip to see even the most shy twitches...

The Apollo MK1 is great for out and out rough stuff, I still go for mine in very heavy weed. Use my Nemesis Plus SLR for more feel or not quite as snaggy ground. Tried the Apollo MK2 for a while when I snapped the tip off one of my rods and couldn't get away with it. Just didn't feel right and a bit bland. Just my opinion.

Hi Alex,
The one thing I would warn you about is if you intend to use a very powerful long rod, if it does not bend the amount of leverage against you will be so high that you will struggle to exert any real amount of pressure on the fish.
I use a Greys Nitra for conger fishing and to be honest it's about as much as I can use as it would be quite easy for me to literally pull myself off balance before the butt is fully bent. A rod with a more supple tip and progressive increase in power as you move down the blank may suit better. As the rod bends, it effectively gets shorter - giving you more leverage when you need it. Some people fish with boat rods from the shore and in some locations there is no alternative due to snags or very large eels but I feel that they rob the conger of a chance to show its fighting potential.
Hope this helps
Lee
p.s. I agree, the bite detection on the Nitra is poor. :lol:

Even a bad days fishing is better than working.
