Saw this on craigslist today.I am drooling all over but unfortanatly I can't afford anymore rods right now.But what a deal.If it's the rod I'm thinking of this rod was meant to be a centerpin, single hand, hybrid.I think fennwick made this vintage rod for just one year.It has a the two hand extention.Looks to be in good condition.Great way to step back in time a fiberglass rod with a centerpin reel, wow heaven.You'll have to research it yourself.Check it out at.

that was my first rod for salmon, handed down to me from a friend who got it from his grandfather. sweet rod for its time, but heavy compared to todays rod. I wound up breaking the rod by carring it inside from fishing on during a storm and the wind blew the door closed on it. I was devistated at the time, but got over it. It's temping to purchase just for sedimental reasons, but my $100 will be put to something that says loomis. Hope it finds a good home.

I picked up a 10wt 9'3" + extension fenwick off of the auction site. I paid... well... very significantly less including shipping. With the extension - it's a nice action 9'9" rod that I'm determined to find a line for two-handed casting.

That's probably a nice rod for glass fans. But it's not all that rare. I see heavy line Fenwicks on the fiberglass flyrodders site frequently, plus occasionally on the many "antique" fly fishing gear websites that are out there. Still, that's a nice rod and at about the right price (might be worth $75 actually), so the seller clearly knows what he's got and what it's worth.
