ICAST 2011 | Fenwick Introduces Elite Tech Smallmouth Series
Posted by Jason Sealock on Wed, Jul 13, 2011 @ 07:26 PM
This new line of rods from Fenwick was geared just for smallmouth anglers in mind but we feel they will be great crossover rods for a variety of applications.
The main feature of these rods is probably the TAC reel seat that features cork handles with a tacky grip, even when wet. The grips are comfortable and great looking with the glossy light green blanks.
The Elite Tech Smallmouth rods are going to come in 10 models, 5 spinning and 5 casting. The rods will range from 6-foot, 3-inch to 7-foot, 4-inch models all based on productive smallmouth techniques from drop shot, to tube to jerkbait and more. We really liked the jerkbait rod with a the smaller grip so you're not working against your forearm on small downward jerks.
The rods will retail for $129.95
They also extended the Eagle GT line of rods with two new spinning rods and three new baitcasting rods. These rods will appeal to Steelhead, salmon and trout anglers for sure.
The rods are priced around $69.95.
