Rich in Co

I picked one up not long ago with a 8.3 ratio for my big stick, and all my others are TPs, and boogy Man pretty much sumed it up I cant tell the differance outside of the handle, and the MB has a shiney paint where as the TP is matted

I love the two NRX i have, and. If you look around you can find them for less than retail.

I still use a blood knot, and have had no issues at all

I like it on my jig & worm rods it has served me well

Very nice write up thanks for your effort

I'm still using Triline XL green for my mono apps, and have never felt the need to try another brand

I'm not much of a matcher either just as long as i like im good to go, there are to many nice rods & reels out it would take me for ever to match things up,m but if I get lucky and it all matches even better

never used an Energy so put me down in the TP camp

As the others have said the fad has paased and I never saw may catch rate go up with them, I still have some laying wround that I got a good deal on that I'll use to replace hooks when needed, and in short order the red has worn off and now I have a non red sharp hook.

just 2 for me & 3 when im in the tube

I think they like floro better I would think what ever line copany they are using makes a braid also and they could use that if they felt it was better for them unless the sponser wants them to use & push floro. I dont think a pro would risk using a line from a non sponser thats a fast way to be out of the sponser buisness

Congrats looking forward to your review.

I was wondering the same thing I checked the web site and either I cant find the info on how it works or it not there.

Hey Fisherrw thanks for the info I have been loking at the M1s also but since I fish pond fish out of a tube and only take 3 rods with me and only use a spinning rod about 20% of the time im kinda having a hard time spending the extra $$, but it's not out of the question as of yet. when I fished turneys back in the late 80's in LV i had a couple of Phenix rods & liked them alot and i still have a old Phenix I bought as a flipping stick, that just kinda sits aound now execpt for slamming pike

Thanks for the info guys

I'm looking at replacing my *** 13 that i gave to my daughter this year since she caught her biggest bass on it, and have been looking around for another $100.00 or so spinning rod and the Phenix Maxim has cought my eye, there really isnt any reviews out there I could find. Has any one played with one by chance? I'll have to order online since there is no dealers here in Colorado. Thanks Rich

put your cell phone on vibrate lay in on th floor and tough the rod tip to it

I'm heading to Flordia with my girl friend from aug 29th through sept 4th to help her close out her fathers estate, we will be in the Brookville area for 3 days. I would like to try to chase some Bass for a few hours hear & there. are there any local ponds or lakes I could chase some bass from shore? I would like to try to catch my 1st florida bass. Thanks Rich

Dang I need some shakey heads

All the reels mentioned are great choices I have a TP on my *** and it makes for a very light and very sweet set up

I'm one of those wierd guy who is left handed I cast a BC with my left and reel with my right but switch hands with the spinning gear, its just how I have done it my whole life. I have tried going right with the spinning gear but it felt so awkward

You can put me down with the as needed crowd most of the ime it's cause the spool it getting low from changing baits. being a tube fisherman i can only tote 3 rods

I just ordered a Turny Pro after reading the great reviews

A shakey jig head works well also

T rigged and draging seems to work best for me
