Saltwater Conventional Rods

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.  

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! Rods over 8' do not qualify for free shipping.

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.

The Okuma PCH Custom Conventional Rods are designed specifically for West Coast anglers. The PCH Custom is lightweight and sensitive with enough strength and backbone to get fish to the boat!

The backbone to the PCH Custom rods is the patented blank construction process, called, Unidirectional Fiber Reinforcement or UFR. This patented process blends unidirectional fiber over 24-ton carbon in the extended tip section of the rod to increase lifting strength and power. UFR provides strength without sacrificing sensitivity, so anglers can feel the lightest of bites.

Okuma changed updated models that have a light gray Okuma aluminum reel seat instead of the previous dark gray ALPS reel seat.  January 2026

The United Composites Xtreme Composite Rail Rods are an anomaly. They are a complete departure from the other blanks on the market designed for the same use. These purpose built rods have a smaller tip ,more recoil and more lifting power. These new designs are in the form of 5 new 7’6” models. Each of the new blanks is actually different from the original 7’ models. The patterning and tooling was changed to allow for a slightly different action to accommodate the angler at a slightly longer length. These models have become the go to for big tuna fishing on the Long range type boats.

The Xtreme Composite Rail Rod line is comprised of 10 different models. These models all have their own preferred use and application, but they are all of the same high quality and finish standards that go into each and every UC product. They feature the Heavy Duty FUJI BHBNG black stainless guides.They use the Alps CAH reel seats. They are triple wrapped and include Randy’s innovative hybrid cold shrink handle. This handle combines the durability of 3M cold shrink with the comfort of hypalon in areas where an angler may be required to grab and pull for those last two feet of line!
