I picked up a Phoenix abyss 908 last year and have been impressed. Its rated for 30 lb, which lighter than i usualy like my jig sticks to be. But My other long rod is a seeker ulua and I wanted to start casting smaller irons n waxwings. Rods is soft and parabolic and cast small irons very well. I started with a Trini 16n and found it was way too much reel for the rod. I was thinking of a lexa 400 but got a deal on a Trini 12. Thinking the 12 will be perfect. Hope this kinda helped. Mike

I picked up the Phenix Abyss 809 about 3 years ago. Great rod, I paired it up with the tranx and switched it out for the Lexa 400. Great for irons, swim baits, and pretty much kayaking and charters. Can't go wrong with the lightness of the rod but yet still flexible enough where it doesn't hurt your back.
