Freshwater Rods

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.  

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! Rods over 7' do not qualify for free shipping.

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.

The Daiwa Spinmatic 4 Piece Rods are perfect for when you need a lightweight and compact rod for trout or panfish. These packable rods break down into 4 equal lengths so if you need to know the size of the rod when broken down, just divide the rod by 4 and add a couple inches for the case.  Each rod has its own carrying case with rod specs printed on it so you know which rod you're taking on your trip.  We like the action of these rods and the ultralight feel.  Perfect for light line applications in the 2-6 pound range.  These travel fishing rods sell fast so if you see them in stock, I would seriously consider getting one.  Couple it with a 500 or 1000 size reel and you have the ultimate pack rod setup.  

All models listed are spinning rods.

Introducing Phenix's Classic BFS Casting Rods, the perfect option for angling in heavily pressured fisheries. Their light line and lure capabilities make for precision casting and accuracy. Expertly crafted by Japan's number one ultra-light rod manufacturer. The Classic BFS is built on a proprietary 36T Toray Carbon Fiber blank with a solid Carbon Tip section.
