Show me your Custom Phenix K2

Post by heyitzpetah » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:10 pm

Hi, so a few members persuaded me to getting a phenix k2, however I would much prefer going the custom route. However, I have no idea where to start. I would really appreciate it if I can see some examples to point me in the right direction. Parts, guides, handle, wrap style to fully utilize the rods potential.

Handle, reel seat, and guides are really dealers choice. Do you have an idea as to what you want?

My old laptop with a lot of my custom rod pictures died, or else I would show you a picture of my 715. The K2 is a great looking blank. The actions are a little slow across the line-up, but they are light and sensitive.

Hopefully you can see the weave. The transition is like the Expride blanks by Shimano.

I think I'm gonna have to pick one or these two up during upcoming holiday sales. I've been really enjoying my point blanks, but that weave is pretty awesome.

You won't be disappointed, as long as you land on the right blank for what you want to do.
