What did you buy this rod for and what don't you like about it?
I have a X-14 and love it for 6XD's and DD22's.
Considering a X-12 for wiggle wart type baits as well as squarebills and lipless crankbaits.
From my experience the Phenix rods in general seem a little lighter than their rated action so my guess is that rod would be perfect for 3/8 to 1/2 oz crankbaits.
Is the rod still available? P'm me price shipped to Saint Charles 63301.
