Wow, really? Can anyone verify this?!!

This would be a hard hit for phenix. Iron feather is their crown jewel.

Actually Andy the Iron Feather is very different. The tip has the outside material stripped off of it down the the inside material which is what makes the tip diameter so thin whereas the Mirage doesn't. They are actually quite different.

I am selling because I have IF79-2 and the IF86-2 as well and those two are my primary ones. I dont use these two shorter ones as much. They are extremely strong rods and yes, the tips may be fragile, but the backbone is the strongest ive seen in any rod. The T46 graphite makes them very light and sensitive. I have heard of the tips breaking from being careless or from people showing off to their friends how limber they are and bending them too much. Because it is so thin, it is easy to get your line wrapped around the tip, and when its wrapped and you swing on a fish, it can break pretty easy. I hate to say this and people dont like to admit it, but usually when a rod breaks, its user error. Rule of thumb for high performance rods. The more expensive it is, the more sensitive and light it is, the easier it is to break accidentally. Just my 2 cents

Is this true? The tip on the Iron Feather is incredibly thin, yes, but it's been demonstrated over and over that it's strong enough to withstand it bending in an almost complete circle.

I agree with everything you just said. Thanks just wanted to know why you were getting rid of them.

Ive used all the Iron Feathers ever since theyve been out, and I primarily use them for striper fishing at castaic. Ive never had a problem, with stripers up to 10lbs. I have also caught a 15lb sturgeon at Santa Ana on the IF72 with no problems.
