Fenwick is one of those brands you cannot generalize about, Dryrod. It's existence has been a roller coaster ride from top-of-the-line to crap, and back again.
When I got into flyfishing, Fenwick was as good as you could get, and I saved a long time to buy one. It was a 7 1/2 foot #5 weight, and I used it long and hard until it was part of a bunch of gear I lost when my car was stolen. Had a Medalist reel (y'all remember them), and a SA line that was the highest of high tech at the time.
Ya know what? Despite the trunck full of Winston's, and Orvis', and Sages I still miss that little rod.
