Evergreen phase

No one ever mentions these rods on this forum. Most models are sub $400 and made in Japan.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

I just purchased the Phase Digger and Sharp Shooter. I haven't had a chance to fish them yet but they feel great and as always they have beautiful craftsmanship. The only drawback is the rear handle is longer than I would like. I have a 1/2oz football jig tied to the Digger and a buzzbait on the Sharp Shooter.

Any update on these rods? My constant obsession with researching new rods has led me here. Found some of these for around $300 which puts them right around expride/orochi xx price. Graphiteleader blanks with mid tier components(fuji SS/SIC guides) so not quite the value proposition of something like an olympic rod but has to outperform the USDM rods in that price point right?
