Chomps Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hey everyone can you guys tell me the difference between the phenix ultra swimbait and the ultra swimbait classic? I messaged phenix about it and here's what they said "Greetings, The main feature of the Classic series is a redesigned handle that incorporates the use of exotic Burl rings and high density French cork. " But i think theirs more to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4g63power Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm not sure about the new ones but the older ones I had classic was carbonfiber blank and ultra was graphite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimbaitsatLMV Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Different blanks. Go on the Phenix website and look on their freshwater blank section to see the differences. And yes, they are made of different materials. If I were you I would also look at the inshore assassin series. I personally prefer their saltwater blanks far more than their freshwater swimbait blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. No difference, just different name. Although there are different grades of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimbaitsatLMV Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 The materials act EXTREMELY differently in each blank. They might both be graphite, but the blank weight alone is almost an ounce difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomps Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys i might just go with the classic just because I like the full grips over split grips ...that combo with the classic/z200 should be lighter than my dobyns867/lexa300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
