Default Anode question, when to buy new ones??

Wow, ive enjoyed my copy cad system to the fulliest, but now my anodes are worn almost like a football shape, the ends are very weak and i seem to be geetiing more all volt reading instead of amps and volts, Ill peg the volt meter with no amps showing, Ive cleaned my clips and anodes after evry use, is it time for new ones?? Are there better ones one the market?? Sorry for all the questions.

i think you need new anodes,but keep the current ones in case you ever decide to up-size your set up,they can still be used when you need to cover more surface area
