The Phenix Mirage Ultralight Spinning Rods are composed of an advanced Carbon Fiber Phenix calls Net V. Traditional glass blanks tend to be heavy, thicker in diameter and lacks backbone. The Net V gives the Mirage Ultralight Spinning Rods a very soft and forgiving action while maintaining a solid backbone. The thin diameter of the Net V blank permits the Mirage to be extremely light and balanced. The Mirage series features a 2 piece option that breaks just above the handle. This allows for compact storage and travel while ensuring performance of a one piece rod.
