Anyone using this rod for bottom techniques like tubes worms ect.? What do you think about the rods sensitivity is it worth the money and would you buy another one?

Cant say for the lighet spinning rods, but my 7'2H/F is great. I'd put the sensitivity up there with my Dobyns Champ. At their price I would definitely consider buying another

I think for the price phenix offers anglers very good sensitivity. I really like my recon and would have no issues buying another for bottom contact baits.

I was considering adding the rod you are thinking about but found a 7'2 ML cumara on sale at TW for less so I purchased it.

If you want you can put in a call to phenix and ask to speak to Vince. He can offer you some better info regarding the recon and M-1. I spoke to him several times and found his advice to be spot on and he is very pleasant person to talk with.
