Hello new to rod building. I have a bunch of vintage blanks and trying to find out what line weight ,actions and so on. Fenwick was rude. Starting with these old blanks first. Look foreword to learning all I can. I live in Alaska and their is a high demand for custom rods. Thank yoi

Any info on the blanks? We got to start somewhere.

The Fenwick that made those blanks isn't the Fenwick that exists today.

You'll be looking at what would now be considered some very old rod blanks and may or may not be much demand depending on what your local market is looking for. I have some old Fenwick catalogs from the 1970's and 1980's that might of help if you can provide the model numbers, but it might be a day or so before I can get back to you.

Thank you for reply. My dad found some info about one of the 12 models I got. It was a blank from 1966. He found action, power, and weight size. No line weight. I got all 12 model numbers and lengths.

Here are a few of the model numbers
Sp844f
Sp782f
Sh1023f
Glb 961
Glb 964.
Thank you for your help. What blank kits would you recommend for a starter kit ? I am thinking trout rod blank, to start

As for blanks I can't help, but for kits; what kind of fishing do you do? There are kits for anything you like to do.

SP782F - 6'6", fast, light, 1/8 - 3/8 lures, 2-1/4 ounce Feralite ferrule.
SP844F - 7', fast, med. lt., 1/4 - 5/8 lures, 2-3/4 one, Feralirte ferrule.

These are from the 1986 catalog. I'd have to dig a bit more to find the others. All good blanks, but probably not much market for them these days.

Thank you. These rods will be for give aways in my fishing group, or for clients to use. Thank you for any and all info.

The S1023f I is a steelhead blank, 2 pc., the last two are live bait blanks, 8 ft long, 1 pc.

Thank you very much.
