I picked up a Phoenix abyss 908 last year and have been impressed. Its rated for 30 lb, which lighter than i usualy like my jig sticks to be. But My other long rod is a seeker ulua and I wanted to start casting smaller irons n waxwings. Rods is soft and parabolic and cast small irons very well. I started with a Trini 16n and found it was way too much reel for the rod. I was thinking of a lexa 400 but got a deal on a Trini 12. Thinking the 12 will be perfect. Hope this kinda helped. Mike
