Phenix Elixir UL 6'6" 2-6lb

This is the last of the ultra light rod for 2014.. Phenix Elixir UL.



The components



ALPS guides



Rod decal


Handle test fitting



Found that the exposed blank at the split butt section abit too thin.
So, I added a small section of carbon tube and 2 dimpled winding check to finish off to the cork grip and butt section.



Spiral guide placement for this tiny rod.
There is no problem using the spiral guides placement for this 2 piece UL bait casting rod. The top over butt joint will not turn as there will not be much force applied to this ultra light set up.

Static load test
 




Jungle cock feather for alignment marker.
