I just purchased a Phenix Mirage MF-711-1 blank for a new build. Got from Mudhole and talked to them after I received it. Blank has rough finish which I'm being told is part of blanks specs. Love action, and will build rod......Has anyone built from a Mirage blank,do you like finish, what does completed rod pair with finish. I am also told not to sand it...probably defeats purpose of design I suppose. Thanks in advance. John Re: Phenix Mirage Blank

Nice blank. Don't sand it though. I've built several of those for kokanee UL downrigger rods. For my personal one I used 3 coats of polyurethan for thread finish rather than epoxy. I have a couple that are non-US versions that come with a smooth finish. So you could add to it. But the buildup will change the action slightly. I was going for the absolutely lightest build I could on mine, so it's micros in a spiral wrap to keep weight off. Re: Phenix Mirage Blank

Hello John.
I have built a few of the MF611-1-B's(6'1", 1-5#, .252 butt, 3.5 tip, weight at .70oz. 1/32 to 1/8oz lure wt.) as spinners and I love them all! Bob, New Bern, NC. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
