Old Fenwick Fiberglass project
Posted by: Carl Butler (---)

I have a Fenwick Fiberglass 12’ SH 1441 F 2 piece rod blank, its a old noodle rod blank 4 to 8Lb line. I’m thinking making it into a 4 piece with spigot ferrules. I may lose some length, but that I think will be fine. Looking at maybe a rod that will be between on the short side 10’6” to 11’ long, what line it will cast is a good guess, maybe between a 4wt to an 8wt. Time will only tell. Has anyone here attempted a project of this sort? This should be fun. Carl

Hi Carl, I'm just wondering if you went ahead with this project or happen to still have the blank? i have a pair of these as light mooching rods but unfortunately one recently was cracked. If you still have it and are willing to part with it please let me know. Thank you, Nevin
