Somewhere in between. A little "Skunkworks" Phenix here in AU did as a reference design.
Now used as basis for low volumes and reference for rod builders.

Along with standard RDA & FEA measurements we worked out new measurement techs for the dynamic (ie) casting properties of a rod.

Had great fun doing it and happy it's being adopted.

It's a ton of fun matching reels up to all these different sticks. I recently ordered a 2015 X-fast Z Bone, and that will get a Steez 100HLA. The NRX 893 has been paired with a Metanium DC and the 802 has a PX68L. The Phase III Bearingdown has a TD Ito.

I eventually want the 7'2" Archangel, and that may get a Conquest 101. The K2 may have to wait until next year...maybe a Steez SV for that one.
