After all there is a good reason that Phenix rods are so favored by many California anglers…Phenix rods flat out perform! Here are some notes on Phenix Rods that you can check out at the Phenix booth at the big Sacramento show, broken down by species. Ultra Light Trout The Iron Feather is the flagship of Phe- nix’s ultra-light weight lineup. The blank of the Iron Feather is a blend of the most sophisticated carbon fiber and graphite technology available today. Implemented carefully, Phenix has created a high-performance instrument that delivers an action that is exceptionally unique. The Iron Feather hosts an extremely fast action that allows for a seamless transition from a soft and sensitive tip to a solid and powerful backbone. Lingcod, Sturgeon And Charter Boat Salmon The Phenix Abyss PSX 808 with an 8 foot length and a 15 to 40 line rating is a favorite of many northern California char- ter boat skippers. Here’s what the folks at Phenix have to say, ”Attention West Coast saltwater anglers, the Abyss series is designed with you in mind!

The Abyss Series utilizes the ideal strength-to-weight balance, yet ensuring superior lifting power. No other rod can compare to the look, feel, and optimum performance of the Abyss series.” Trophy Largemouth Bass & Stripers The Phenix Swimbait specialty rod USB 790H-C boasts 7’9 inches of power that is capable of tossing baits that weigh as much as 8 ounces.

FINS offers five styles of fishing su- perlines, each one produced with genuine spectra fibers
