my only experience with phenix is the t-46 now called the k2 which is a great light weight carbon fiber shaft. in my endless quest for my new dropshot rod i was going to try the ultra umbx-s700m-b but the new m1 mx-s72m-b sounds like it would make an interesting spinning rod as its rated 1/8 to 3/4 oz. any input would be appreciated Edited 1 time(s).

Never used the umbx- s700m but the umbx s700L is one sweet blank. Super light and awesome sensitivity. Re: which phenix blank

The umbx-s700m-b makes a killer DS stick. Re: which phenix blank m1 or umbx

jim did you get the specs on the 700m before you built it. i am interested in weight and the butt and tip sizes as they seem to be different than the other umbx blanks listed. Re: which phenix blank m1 or umbx

Robert,
The butt dia. is spot on to catalog spec. Tip size has been 4.5-5 and truly extra fast action. I haven't put the blank on a scale, but judging by weight in hand the catalog spec appears accurate. Built three out to date and blanks have been very consistent. Re: which phenix blank m1 or umbx

i am used to loomis and shikari blanks so i'm not sure how the mbx or m1 would feel to me action wise. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
