Phenix Ultra MBX medium power

Post by Hogsticker2 » Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:41 am

Can anyone comment on the power and ratings of one of these medium models? I know the medium light fishes more like a strong medium power, so I'm curious if this is similar, or more powerful - and how much.

Depends on the length too.

But don’t be fooled by phenix, some of their rods are over rated. I have one that’s medium fast and it feels more like a moderate fast rod, but when pulling on it by hand it feels like it has a enough back bone.

I'm very familiar with Phenix blanks. This particular model only came in a 6'6. I'm not to concerned with the taper or speed. I know these blanks are fast in a traditional US fashion. I'd really like to know how it compares to the medium light.
