Joe, Are those classic fenwick fishing rods I see in some of your photos? I have a ton of old tackle I've been waiting 25 years to use. Now that I have the boat I've always wanted I'll use the tackle.
Yes, they certainly are. That's all I use for freshwater fishing.
I have about 10 Fenwick rods in different sizes and weights for both spin and fly fishing.
All of my rods are the Classic "Made in the U.S.A." rods....
I used to live a few miles from their factory in So. California years ago.
I bought many of the rods from the factory then but did fine one more source about 7 years ago that was located in So. Oregon. This outfit had brand new old stock of the Fenwick rods that were made in the U.S.A..... He had an entire truckload of them. I bought many rods for myself and friends and sent them around the country. As far as New Jersey. The outfit finally ran out of these rods and then closed their doors.
My eyes get me in trouble. I see to many things I want to own. I love my Fenwick rods. I have Lami's Fenwicks conolon and harnel. All classic. It's all I use. I'm building 4 new old stock lamis and harnels for my first boating season. In my day I took a trip to oxnard to load up on harnels from the source I guess around 1980. A few Cali parking lot tackle swap meets were great back then. I picked up a lot of good reels.
