- This video about my Sportsman’s Warehouse tiny Mega Haul. I was able to purchase over $275 in Fishing equipment for less than $150. Now that $275 includes items I purchased that were on sale and the $50 coupon that I can redeem and spend as cash in early November 2022. Yes it is possible that I can purchase an item or a series of items that are less than $50 but their full retail price is more than $50, which will allow me to realize an even greater savings. That Phenix Feather Rod will become my flipping, pitching, and punching rod. This rod is only 3.1 ounces but is rated to handle up to 1 3/4 ounce weight. I am going to test it 🤣. Did you participate in the Sportsman’s Warehouse promotion? Let me know in the comments below.

I am confident say that the Feather series is as light and sensitive as my $625 NRX+. Love the Feather series, if they put cork in the handle, it'll be a game changer. I'm surprised it took you this long to own one. I also own the phenix M1, I'll take the feather with my anyday of the the week over my M1. Can't wait to watch you full review on the rod!
Knowing what I know now, I can confidently say, "I agree with you" regarding the NRX+ and the Feather series. Oh yeah, I should have purchased one at least a year ago. In the upcoming review I will go into some detail as to why it took so long. Thanks for watching the video. 🤣 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman we called it budget NRX or it's known for poor man's nrx haha
🤣😂👍🏿
I agree i have the Nrx+ and a phenix dragonfly
Reeeaaalllyyy appreciate the extra time you hold them up, it always gets on my nerves when people flash it super fast(if at all) and I have to sit and try to pause it in the 1/10th of a second they show it.
You are very welcome. It was a conscious decision of mine to hold items up for a few extra seconds, for the same reasons that you identify as a problem in other videos. For some reason other producers, don’t realize that we’re constantly looking at the item that we’re wanting to display and forget that when your eyes see it, you see the item for the first time and you need time for your eyes to settle on the details. Thank you for watching!👏🏿👏🏿🎣
It looks like I had missed an entire row of shows. Holding up and showing what you’re talking about is the point of the review. Seeing the difference in colors are very important. Thanks for posting.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.👏🏿👏🏿🎣🎄🎁
Great vid. I have been curious about the phenix rods. Seems like an awesome rod being that light for the action.
Thank You Very Much! I should have my on the water review posted next week. Hopefully you have already seen my Phenix M1 videos. Thanks for your support of the channel.
Great deal! Good luck fishing today glad you have nice weather. That A rig is definitely a snag magnet. But fun to set up and throw!
Thank You Very Much! Our weather will be in the 70's - 90's through mid December. right now my son is throwing the rig in open water. Hopefully that will lengthen the time that he will be throwing the rig before it ultimately does snag. He is already found out the throwing chandeliers is tiring, lol! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Oh and I’ll be on the lookout for that rod arsenal video!
The rod arsenal video should be out next week.
I just ordered the same rod from Tackle Warehouse. Intending to use it for the same things you mentioned, plus 6 inch Megabass Magdrafts. I don't have the skills/confidence in baitcasting rigs, so I'm hoping this spinning rod is the ticket for heavier baits.
I suspect you will be very successful with rod. Baits heavier than 1.5oz get into specialty techniques. So unless you were getting into heavy, swim, baits, or punching with 2+ ounces of weight, there’s no need to even consider a baitcast combo. With what reel will you pair it? 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@familybudgetfisherman considering that I'll be doing some pitchin, flippin and punching, I'm going with the Abu Garcia Revo RKT... It's the fastest spinning reel on the market to my knowledge. It's got a 7.6:1 gear ratio and it takes up something like 42" of line per turn on the 30 size. I had the previous version, the Revo Rocket, which was almost as fast and it was a great reel until I decided to disassemble it beyond my own abilities like an 8 year old! LOL
Now that is funny!!!😂. I didn't know about the Revo RKT. I just looked it up. I may purchase one as well. My only resistance is that loud color. LOL! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Been thinking about trying one of those feathers. Love the video brother!
Thank you very much for supporting the channel. Without spoiling my on the water video regarding this rod, so far, I don’t have any real complaints. So keep thinking about the purchase of this Rod until after my review was posted this week. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
love your videos man, keep em coming
Thank You Very Much! Stay tunned, More to come! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
The reel seat is the same as the megabass P5 series ! I thought it was a Windbuster at first !
(Corrected First Sentence) You have a great eye for detail! I had to look it up once you mentioned it though. I definitely agree. I have noticed that these rods in the two $125-$300 category are trying to compete against the $500+ rods. So it is possible that the reel seat is purposely designed to be so similar, that it would be hard to tell them the difference without design differences, or labeling. LOL! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman even the weight is very close between the Feather and the megabass P5 windbuster . The windbuster has the titanium guides and I guess the feather has the same , maybe the difference is in the rod blank as I know that the megabass P5 have 5 different carbon layers in woven on the blank to make them have a different reaction to the load , the more load fighting the fish the more power the rod gives
Excellent followup! Yes they both have the same guides. Phenix modified them just to call them "custom", lol. Although they have different rod blanks, the sensitivity and strength of both of them are near parity. Again, I am impressed with your insight on these rods. Why would I pay $475 for a P5 if I could essentially get that same experience with a Feather. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman hehe If I have seen your review a few months earlier , I wouldn't have bought the windbuster. But I got it from Japan a bit cheaper and still is an amazing heavy drop shot rod, especially fighting 4-5 lbs smallmouths, they fight hard but the more they fight the more the rod seems to have power. First time I feel that.. thank you for your reviews and your honesty on youtube. Salutations from Canada.
I own a bunch of them. Thought about getting the heavy action. I found that my other feathers are light for there action. How stiff is that blank?
I most definitely agree. It is still a little light for the action. However, I have been successful at throwing baits up to 1 1/2oz with no problem. I have not gone up to the rated 13/4oz. Of course I don’t snap cast, lol, I load very slowly😂😂 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
I pair my feather rod with my aldebaran 51hg. Literally a 7oz as a combo. Light as a feather for real 😁
I got the pun.🤣 Great pairing! I agree, the light weight of the rod and the combo in total is very much a distinguishing feature. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman I’ll never go back to a heavy combo 😂 I grabbed my buddies combo the other day and I was like hell no. The difference in weight is real haha.
Just found you. Love your content.
Thank You So Very Much! I appreciate your support and enjoyment of the channel. I look forward to your conversing with you in the future. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Hey homie. The guides are not Fuji
Thanks for the correction. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
Can the heavy through meduim side spoons and rapalas and is it good ? Or should I get meduim for 20 pound trout 🎉
You should be able to through heave spoons, (such as jigging spoons) for trout and catch them. I would get at least a Medium Heavy because you will need a stiffer tip. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman thank you so much 😊
You are welcome! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
@@familybudgetfisherman oh one more thing what is the 7,6 meduim fast Shimano Zodias rod good for and what pound test can I use ??????
Sorry for the late reply. You probably know the answer by now but the best test would be 8lb test or the smallest test braid you could find. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
You say you are a senior preacher in a church. I’ve been watching you for two years now but you ain’t never say anything about the good Lord or is anybody saved or did they want to get saved or contact you and talk about the Lord it’s always about fishing I know this channel,but the lord is away first you should know that it is about fishing but you never talk about the lord just look what the lord has given you he can take it all away just like he did job in the bible he had more than us you are a preacher or are you just in it for the money like the rest of these fake preachers soooooooo sad 😭😭😭😭😭
I preach every Sunday and teach two Bible studies each week online. If you would like to view my contact, here is the link.

I appreciate you giving me advice for the channel. I most definitely appreciate the support you have given to the channel over these last 2 years. I do make reference to my faith on this channel. That’s how you learned that I am a preacher. However Your conclusion that just because I don’t talk about the Word of God on my fishing channel as extensively as you think I should, then accuse me of just being in it for the money because I haven’t made an appeal for salvation is very sad.. i hope the other channels will give you some confidence that I spend a lot of time online sharing the Word of God. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
