Phenix M1 Spinning Rod Questions

Featured Replies

Does anyone have any experience with these rods, I wanted to pick up a 7'2 ML spinning but Phenix only makes them in 7'2 light and 7'2 medium , I'm looking to use the rod for finesse spinning , shaky heads ,neko ,wacky and ned, I don't see myself going past 3/8oz , so I'm thinking the 7'2 light, but I'm fearful it will not have enough backbone for bass in the 3-5lb range. The 7'2 medium is rated up to 3/4oz , so I'm concerned its too much rod for finesse. Any info or feedback is appreciated.

I built a 7-2 medium power XF action M1 blank into a rod that I find is excellent for finesse (tubes, hair jigs, etc).  Actually I use it for a lot of stuff.  My impression is that it is a very sensitive, light-for-its -power blank.  Its power is just a little more than the St Croix SCV 70MF, and its softer tip (due to XF action) makes it just fine for finesse.  I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thank you for the info, it is appreciated.
