Re: Fenwick is Back! A First Look at the Completely Refreshed Lineup from Eagle to World Class

I was excited after hearing Justin Poe was working with fenwick and the more recent Fenwick Elite's looked pretty good, but can't say I'm satisfied with this update.

Re: Fenwick is Back! A First Look at the Completely Refreshed Lineup from Eagle to World Class

I like that they've put more emphasis on the blanks themselves, and appreciate you talking a bit about the sensitivity and feedback you were f...

Has anybody else noticed that the Sleeper Craw has a Fook Guard?

I don't know about the heavier blanks, but the mediums and medium lights I own are superb.

Re: A Different Approach : The New Player - Trika Rods

Heads up, they have relisted new actual rod weights. They aren't as light as originally advertised. Another member described his as feeling tip heavy.

I picked up my rebuilt x-ray blanked custom rod today and ordered the epitome so looks like I'll be comparing it side by side with the previous generation x-ray blank soon.

The Perg has been available for a while now. I picked up a couple, but still haven't used them.
Reminds me a lot of a Mikey Jr.

Sounds like a no nonsense high performance fishing tool. I like nonsense in my rods so I'll pass but I see the appeal.

Is $295 the correct price? I saw icast had released a link to all announounced items so far and it has the new Epitome showing an msrp of $495. Let's certainly hope so! Though I'll likely purchase one either way. If these blanks are truly an improvement over the original X Rays, it should be rather...
