I can't tell you how much to pay but I have an old Nemisis slr plus. I am using it more than any of my other rods at the moment. It is fantastic at pulling huss and conger from really gnarly rock marks. I am targeting tope at the moment and it has no trouble launching half a mackerel between 60-80 yards. Bite sensitivity is excellent and I cannot recomend these rods highly enough.
When I have worn out all my other rods and need to replace them the Nemesis would be my first choice.

The three piece is not as good as the newer 2 piece.

Expect to pay 120-175 for a decent one and brand new I think the best price is Spotty Dog at about 275

Thats dirt cheap, even for a factory finish.

don't expect the best factory finish in the world with them though - there is nothing wrong with them, but when I bought my pair, they were slightly different colours and the whippings on one at the first ring was longer than the other big grin

Brilliant rods though - definately my favourite. I have 2 of the standard SLRs and they are superb.

I have a lot of rods to wear out before I can justify a new pair but when I do get them it will be from Stan, a bit more money but he is the besthttp://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm
