I have possession of this particular rod. It looks pretty mint if not NOS, no discoloration on the guides, blank, wraps, reel seat, rubber butt cap, etc. The rod says Cross Scrim Graphite. The blank is a matte dark brown or black. The guides are double footed lightweight metal without any ceramic insert. Guide wraps are Metallic Brown with Metallic Gold trim. The stripper guide has the same colored wraps except there is a Metallic Red band in the center of each wrap. Do any of you who are knowledgeable in the history of Fenwick rods have any insight into what year/years this rod may have been offered? I've been told this rod may be from the early 90's to the mid 2000's. Trying to narrow it down. I'm planning on using the rod this season. Fast tapered and lots of backbone. Not going to be a wall queen. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/22/2021 10:45PM by Mark B. Gonsalves. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
