Bass_blaster Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hot off the press. This light one will end up at ECBT tomorrow so sadly I’m going to have to watch it go. Neon AF on this one. Phenix Ultra MBX rated to 1.5oz. Will be good for smaller soft baits or frogs, maybe even jigs too. matte slate matagi reel seat and carbon fiber grips with matte black aluminum trim. buzzed bait, dean_d, nikopap1 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle1387 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Not the prettiest or most expensive combo out there but this thing gets it done. 13 fishing defy black 8 ft hvy and a cardiff 301. The 13 defy heavy might be the most overlooked starter rod imo. As a wake bait rod I literally have not lost a fish on it. Once I hook up they're in the boat. Its got enough backbone to where I can horse fish out away from cover and its broken in enough to where it can throw pretty much any bait. 68s, bbz, my go to slammer rod, and I fish it with 80 lb braid in thick cover and have no trouble winching them out. For 80$ this thing is a steal. I cant speak to the 807 but this thing is miles away better than the fury 795 for anything up to 8 inch hudds aholodnick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass_blaster Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Latest build complete. Based off a Phenix 809XHJ. I think of it as a 1.5xh, one of my favorite blanks to build up, I’ve done three now. The orange doesn’t come out in the pictures, too bright for the iPhone camera to resolve properly. basskickinrednick, trav, aholodnick and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
