Phenix Rod Owners......

[spyakker]

Looking to pick up a Phenix rod for Yellowtail and need some advice of which one to pick up. I'm looking at the Black Diamond series. Want a rod for mainly surface irons.
What are you Phenix owners using? Also what reel to pair up with?

Here is the website to the Black Diamond Series.

I'm thinking about

PSW-760M

7'6"

15-40

1

Mod. Fast

Thoughts and reviews about these rods for Yellowtail set up?

Tons of phenix chatter over at bloodydecks.

I have the PSW 809XHJ and can recommend that model as a surface iron and terrific all around rod. I have a daiwa BG35 on mine.

That rod you mentioned is a bit of a noodle... way too soft to be a surface iron/kelp/yt rod.

Thanks for the input!! Will do more research and go check out the rods in person.

I 2nd the 809 XHJ. Beast of a rod. I have a Tranx on mine. I've never whooped a yt so easily before that set up.

I have the classic swimbait 7'11" paired with a 400D. Pretty versatile. From yellows on the tady to stripers on the hudd.

I have 2 phenix's that I bass fish with and they are great rods. When it comes to YT, I'm not sure I would want to invest that kind of dough in a phenix when there are other rods that will do a great job. just food for thought.

I'm getting a REALLY good discount on any phenix rod. Only reason I'm picking one up.:-P

The only phenix I own is a psw869h and find it a bit too stiff for surface iron.
