We really like what we saw at the Phenix Custom Quality Rods both at ICAST. The first thing we noticed was their new line of Recon rods. These rods feature sleek styling, smaller diameter blanks, custom Fuji rod seats, SIC guides, EVA grips and uniformally balanced Toray T-36 ton composite carbon-fiber woven material in the blanks.
The rods felt light and balanced in our hands. They were reasonably priced starting at $159. They had a whopping 16 models from 6-foot, 8-inch 682L to a 7-foot, 9-inch 796H.
Phenix also gave us a look at a new custom rod blank they have in the works that will be available to rod manufacturers soon that looked and felt amazingly light. We're excited to see what comes of these blanks in the future. But for now we were impressed with the Phenix rods for their looks, actions and how they felt.
