Was checking out Tacklewarehouse the other day and noticed Phenix uses a number of components from Essex. Didnt find much information on their components but did locate them on Rod Component site... Anyone ever use their stuff, specifically the reel seats, look interesting just wasnt sure if they were any good. Look like what Phenix uses.

I don't know about the seats, but they also have Point Blank 6'6" spin jig blanks listed for $72. Kinda made me wonder?

If Im not mistaken, Phenix switched to doing their own components in-house under the brand Essex. Ive used some Essex seats and they seem fine. No experience with anything else though.

I would like the link to that page, Lynn.

I think Phenix is importing those components out of either China or Tawain but I have used a few and they seem okay.

I feel like I should proceed with caution is what I am gathering.... Prices do some awful cheap on that site

Jim, sorry I didn't see your post till just now, but if I understand correctly you have received the link from elsewhere.

From what I can discern, the Point Blank prices I mentioned above are on the level. (Custom Rod Components) For me, just under $100.00 shipped. PA

That's a great price. Looks like he only has the 6'6".

Have some interesting looking reel seats from Phenix
