Abyss HD

The Phenix Abyss HD is a heavier-duty offshore and nearshore rod series targeted at anglers fishing surface iron, live bait, and big-plug presentations primarily on the West Coast. It is available in both casting (conventional) and spinning configurations and is built to handle line classes from 10–25 lb up to 20–50 lb, covering a range of applications from lighter kelp-bed live bait work to full-scale yellowtail and tuna iron casting. Blanks use an S-glass composite blended with Mitsubishi Core Carbon Fiber, a construction that combines fiberglass flexibility and strength with carbon's weight reduction.

Hardware includes a Fuji DPS reel seat with a custom ring, Fuji FazLite guides, and a custom corded rubber grip designed for sustained casting comfort. The carbon-fiber reinforced core increases the series' lifting and fighting power relative to the standard Abyss. The 13-rod lineup includes 10 casting and 3 spinning models. Lengths run 7'2" through 8'9". Within each length, models differ by line class, most lengths offer two or more options stepping from lighter (10–25 lb) to heavier (20–50 lb) duties.

The 8'2" casting class is the most fully developed with four models (AHD-C 826 through 829) covering the full line range. Spinning models mirror the 7'2", 7'8", and 8'2" casting lengths in their heaviest configurations, giving spinning-reel users access to the core blank lengths.
