I have this rod in 1 piece UL 6’ and it’s absolutely my favorite rod. Caught everything from dinks to 6lb peacock bass on it. Very sensitive and cast great. Only minor complaint is with the micro guides. I do get line wrapping on the tip if not diligent. Waiting for the day when I forget and decent fish breaks it off. Overall a great multi species rod for my purposes down here in South Florida.

The other rods you rave about are much shorter length than this one, I believe you'd have a different opinion if you compared apples to apples.

That’s fair feedback! That being said, the Phenix Elixir has been tested at a 7’6 length and it balanced properly with a size 1000 reel. Ultimately rod manufacturers need to create optimal balance no matter what the length. A 6’9 ultralight doesn’t call for a 2500 size reel, so why make it so tip heavy?
