The Replacement.

I lost one of my favorite rod's in my divorce a few years back.  A Fenwick fiberglass fly rod.  My first fly rod was one I made when I was 17 from a yellow Fenwick Fenglass blank and single foot Fuji guides.  A real noodle stick, I still have it but haven't fished it in years.  Along the way I picked up a Fenwick fiberglass fly rod (now in the possession of my X).  So while on eBay I found a very clean Fenwick and pick-it up.  I have to give credit Cameron at "The Fiberglass Manifesto" who's blog I've been following and gotten me to thinking about replacing my old Fenwick.

 Original Tube showed some wear. 

But in side was a very clean fiberglass rod.
It looks like it was hardly used.

FF79 – 8' – 3 3/8 oz.  should through a 5wt quite nicely.

 

Feralite "Twist On - Twist Off.

Now I'd need to match it with a reel, may be a Pflueger or Martin.
