i love mine.  my only gripe, and it's a small one, is i wish the handles were a little longer.  but that's just a personal preference.  i am nuts over everything else about the rod - especially the handle/trigger design.  Not sure how it would compare to the phenix.  i have heard those are some very sweet sticks too.

Wow sweet congratulations!  At first when I reading, I thought maybe the 9lb 13oz was how much was in your first tournament.  Then I scrolled down and was literally LOL, good fish man.  Wish I can land one of those babies this year.

Sweet Jeezus man. Those two are some chunks. But if I was holding two pigs like that I would be grinning something serious. I also love the deatails with the pics.
