Big advocate for Phenix rods until Ark pays you more. But the Phenix rods are good rods for Chinese made, but I buy American when possible.

Speaking of your pops. I was just watching him on the FLW recap from table rock back in the day when Ehler won it when it was super cold and tough.

Straight juice! Thanks for sharing! Did your kids make you the Swifty bracelet? Awesome

Love this brother!!!

I got to fish with your dad back in the late 80s with Mr Bass and learned more in 8 hours from one of the most genuine people I've ever met. Tell him thank you for me.

I’ve just got turned on to using a bait caster. And the first Phenix rod I’m buying is the 6’9” med/hvy. It seems to be a great all around rod I’m looking for. I found a great sale on them and I’m even going to try the 6’9” med spinning while I’m at it.

“I don’t know anything else” is a strong statement. I totally understand

Good KZbin stuff man

Would the 7'1 H be a good Chatterbait rod?

How’s the lake as far as having to be careful about hitting flooded timber? I’m Mildly traumatized from one time in Oconee where there was standing timber in the channel 😂

Cheater

Best bang for the buck rods I've ever used

How Many hooks on that thing son. 😂

Same… 2 minutes from the ramp at Hamilton.

If I could please ask , the 1st model you mentioned 6.9 medium heavy would be good choice for Topwater set up ?? You are saying it is an excellent jerkbait rod, in general jerkbait,Topwater medium is better choice?? Is that specific model close to medium power? Thank you very much

great video! gunna go to phenix tomorrow and get a 7'3". fortunately they are only 20 mintues away from where i live. thanks for the info!

MEGA Congratulations on the win! So awesome to see men not afraid to give credit to God! Tight lines and God Bless!

When’s the m1 series review going down??

Man I'm enjoying watching your tournament videos. Just staying persistent and fishing the moment. Keep it up brother!

I have a 6'9 Medium heavy Phenix feather. I almost exclusively use it for a spinnerbait rod and I absolutely love it. Ive always liked a shorter 6'8 - 6'10 rod for spinnerbaits. Spinnerbait, jerkbaits, swim jigs, all work great with this rod. Phenix isn't my favorite brand of fishing rods. That title for me would go to Dobyns, but they are great rods, and to me Phenix is a bit of an underrated brand of fishing rods.

What’s the 7’7” Medium spinning rod like? I see it’s rated 1/8 to 3/4. Is it stiff like other rods rated the same or does is it more similar to a average medium rod that’s rated 3/16 - 5/8 and more softer in the tip. Looking at picking one up for walleye and striped bass and everything I can throw at it

Nice boat

What derby is this?

I hope you see this to answer my question as I think my situation might be unique compared to most people. I want to get a good rod. Was thinking St Croix but then found Phenix. My budget is limited. Been saving and I won't be able to have a rod for every type of lure. I do not have a boat. So I fish from docks or the shore. I am disabled so the lightness of the rod is what caught my eye first. I am also short. only 5'6". I have a 7' rod and really don't like how long it is. I was originally thinking a 6'6" medium. But saw the 6'9" MH and thought that would work. I see the heavy will throw a wide range of weights. But it is 7'1" which I am not crazy about. But if it would do everything, maybe it would grow on me. But will it do everything for me? I am in a powered wheelchair. But I can still walk some. So I fish standing, Living on Social Security Disability is tough, so for me to get one of these is probably going to be a one-time deal. Thanks for any advice. God bless.

Best rod for the price got 2 rods 1 in 7.1 heavy for all purposes and a 7.3 Xtra heavy for BIGGINs

Just picked up the 7’1” MH …. Can’t wait to get back and test it out. I’ll probably try it on TR weightless senkos (I tend to throw these on baitcasting), Pop R’s, smaller walking baits, etc. Gonna try pairing it with a Lew’s Pro Ti reel. That rig should be insanely light and sensitive. Anyway, thanks for the review…. Hopefully I’ll love the rod !

What was your set up on your vibrating jig? Good tournament!

I want to order on which rod rating do you recommend I want something that feels like a med heavy

You think Can you cast 2oz swimbaits with the 77 XH ?

Hello great review! Picked up a feather and right away was like I have to get one ! I would use it for chatterbaits 3/14-1 Oz and occasional 2oz swimbaits. I felt the 7’7” H but didn’t have the 7’7” XH on hand to feel … is the XH too stiff for the application I listed in your opinion? Any feedback appreciated. (Spec wise would love the 3oz XH but want that too flex that I like on the H)

I recently picked up my first Phenix looking for a magnum crankbait rod, both giant squarebills and ultra deep divers. The X14 in their composite line up fit the bill perfectly. To be fair, I can't say there's much to compare it to. The only other rod I could find anything about for throwing giant cranks was a Megabass rod that has been discontinued. But I am amazed at how easy this rod makes reeling in giant 25+ ft diving cranks. I usually like straight glass for crankbait rods, but I concluded that on deep divers having a bit extra backbone from graphite made sense since the hooks on these baits are big and I may have to occasionally hammer them home a little harder. I was thinking about getting this 7'7" XH as my first dedicated flipping rod. I mostly fish from a kayak, and I don't like super long rods for short casts, and the 7'10"-8' stuff is too much for me. The only other rod that seems to exist that fits similar specs is the Shimano Expride, but I don't want to spend quite that much money on something that I will only use in the dog days. I've also heard that the Exprides are extremely stiff, and coming from a mostly St. Croix background, I like all of my rods to have more spring in the tip. Thanks for the review. Sold me on it.

Great review I just ordered the 7’2” MHF. I was looking for a medium power rod with a little bit of a parabolic bend for throwing cranks and weightless worms and this seems to fit my needs since I heard they run a little light in power. Can’t wait to try this rod out I hear they are light and sensitive. I normally use Exprides and St Croix

You definitely proved you are ready, way to grind it out 🎣

I see u got that daiwa tatula sv on that 7’7h

I already know this is going to be a great video

Nj brother

How is that k2 rod for you? Is it worth it? Im thinking of getting it.

Hey Spencer do you have any tips for lake greers ferry because I have a tournament can you tell me some tips and this video is awesome

Awesome love the vid can’t wait for the next one any suggestions for my channel 😃

great video i just got a phenix rod im excited to use it

Nice catch bro that was sweet

Good job, me and my cousin are in your sister's class and we want to know if you can take us fishing one day

Great work Spenser, please be safe and could you make a video on your spinning rod setups? Thanks

That first cast was insane! Nice dude

those phenix feathers are straight money!

Thanks for the video! What were you throwing that on. Braid?

Thinking about a 77MH for squarebills, maybe some rattle traps or possibly even some texas rigs. What are your thoughts on that use? Will be mostly from bank and paired with either a tatula or slx xt

Best rods I’ve ever had. RIPSUMLIPZ

Great to see poops with you. I drew him in a Mr. Bass back in the late 80's or early 90's when I was a young lad and he was the best boater I ever drew. I learned a ton about fishing a jig that day and he was truly one great dude.
