I'm looking to try and branch out from some of the bigger companies (Shimano, Daiwa, etc.) for my next rod and I came across the Ultra MBXs on Phenix's website. They are beautiful looking rods, love all the components as well. Surprised they aren't on TW.
I was hoping someone has someone has some experience with them and could provide their opinion. I don't have the money to drop on a rod I don't know anything about unfortunately, and even if I hear good things I'd probably have to wait for a sale of some kind. Not sure if Phenix ever runs deals.
I'm looking for a 1/4-3/8 oz jig/t-rig rod, something pretty sensitive. I was considering the 7' MH. I do fish around grass pretty often so maybe I'd need a H. Not sure on that yet.
Thanks for any input!
*One more thing: I typically run braid to leader so if someone could comment on how knots pass through the guides that would be fantastic
