Fenwick Rods

[busse3775]

Was wondering what your guy's opinions were on Fenwick rods. I will mostly use it for pulling lindy rids for walleyes. Just wondering what your guy's preference was on for a rod that can be used for many different fishing techniques or just an all around good rod for walleyes.

My Fenwick Elite tech Walleye jigging 6' 3" is just SUPER! I highly recommend. Just got it last year after asking the same question as you.

I am a big fan of Fenwick rods. They are a great rod for the money. One of my go to rods for all around use is the Elite Tech 6'9" MLF jigging/rigging rod.

Can't go wrong with Fenwick. It's all I've purchased for many, many years.

My Fenwick Elite Tech Walleye rod is my favorite rod I've ever owned in my life! I love it!

[JohnMickish]

Which model are you talking about? The Elite Tech is a pretty darn good rod, the others have lots of competition in their price catagory.

Picked up my Elite Tech EWS63M-XF 6'-3" medium, xtra fast, walleye jigging rod and coupled it with a Pflueger® Supreme MG spinning real and loaded it with Berkley Nanofil 8# test. Love it so far. Had it out on the water this past weekend on Traverse and despite the 3-4 foot rollers, I could feel if my 1/4oz. jigs were on gravel or muck. Light weight, comfortable handle, and sensitive. Can't wait to test it further.

Thanks for all the advice! Yea I was leaning more towards the Elite Tech.

I ran Fenwick for years and loved them but something changed that they got cheaper or I don't know what for sure. I switched most of my rods over to a Kuma deadeye series for less money you get a whole lot better Rod check him out Kumafishing.com

Favorite walleye rod by far. I have the 7'2" Rigging and also the 6'9" Jigging/Rigging Combo. Great Rod. No complaints. The 7'2" is awesome, I can feel just about anything pulling any kind of live bait rig. The 6'9" is a great all around rod and I would suggest going with that if you are only going to get one, as the 7'2" is not much of a jigging rod. The 6'9" is also a great rod for little cranks and some light drop shotting if you chase species other than walleye.

I've got a couple older low end 6'6" medium that are a discontinued low end rod that are decent. I picked up a 6'3" MXF Elite Tech last year and its an awesome rod. I love pitching jigs in the river with that thing. Its right up there with my IMX Loomis. I plan to try out the new 7'2" MXF Aetos rod this year.

I like my older 6'6" Med HMG more than my newer 6'3" ET Jigging rod. Both are good rods though. Best rods for the $$ IMO

Likje said some are ok and some are darn good. I have some of their upper end rods from over the years and for what I paid for them they are darn nice.

[leechlake]

about 20 years ago I was taken care of very well by Fenwick via Reeds in Walker and because of that and because of how much I like the features of the rods I've stuck with them for nearly all my walleye rods. I have quite a few HMG's and a few HMX's and some newer ones. I never thought about it much but because they took care of me way back when I've paid them back many times over.

[Grum]

My HMX med 7ft 2piece has served me well for years, I like the long handle (13" from but to the reel post) for trolling or shore fishing, but much to long for sitting and casting or jigging in a small craft that you can't stand in.

[Cliff Wagenbach]

Very good rods for the cost!

Even their lowest priced rods are decent and of course the more you spend the better the rod.
