Just purchased a Fenwick 9' - 7 wt from Cabela's. The price is $99.99 & I was amazed at the quality and performance of this rod. I like it
because it casts an 8 wt Bass Taper with ease & accuracy with a very wind resistant size 6 fly on it. I also like the fact that the reel seat does not have
a fighting butt (until you get up to the 8 weights). I have always like the Fenwick handle. Those of you who know me as a bit of a tackle snob & find me
always armed with the latest Sage rods. I have to admit; however, this is a keeper.
The best part is that it's made in the USA.
Give them a try.

Hey Tom that's great - I think Cabelas has the exclusive dealer rights to the Fenwick HMG - I'll have to take a look - that's a great price! Thanks
for the tip - Alec

Gerald! I am very pleased to see you back on the Pond - I wondered where you had dissappeared to. Don't be a stranger - and remember - you were the FIRST
person to post on the Bass Pond when it started back in Dec. of 2000! Tight lines old friend! Alec
