Fenwick 9ft Extra Heavy Spinning rod
« on: February 03, 2013, 07:25:18 PM »
Howzit guys.  Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this rod or the brand on the whole.  I know that they make top notch fly rods but any other info would help. I especially like the fact that it has nice big guides. Thanks

It has been many years since I have seen any fenwick blanks or rods. The fly rods were of the best back in the days. Had a surf blank in the early '90s. It was very soft and did not fish it for long. Replaced it with a Purglass 400/3 and never looked back.

Thanks Pieta.  I did bend it to check its backbone and it does seem to be nice and stiff for its application.  Had a very similar bend to the berkeley Air.  Better choice but more bucks unfortunately
