New option for travel rods

[kickingfrog]

Just saw a piece on what I think is a new product for travel rods. I don't know squat about it other then what I read from Fenwick but the concept makes sense to me on paper as I've been known to pack a few too many rods on trips.

 

Fenwick Methods are travel rods that come with different sections that allow you to change the action/power of the rod. I'm not in the market for one but that doesn't mean I won't be in the future.

Anyway, just passing it along.

I recently picked up two fenwicks because of a rod that Spiel built me on an old blank. They are 9 and 10ft long and have great action for 3-20lb catfish. I was pleased with the quality and the materials they used and would buy more if I need some more kids and guest rods. My Spiel collection I still have a problem sharing. lol

Did a little more digging. A rod comes with 1 handle, 2 mid sections and 2 tips.

 

The mid sections change the action of the rods; and the tips, the power. (That's what the catalog says, although I would think it would be the other way )

 

Giving you 4 "different" rods.

 

They have casting and spinning outfits that come in a travel case.

 

Cabelas.ca has them for $119.99 and $129.99.

 

I haven't held one yet but I could also see these being an option for someone who isn't interested in having multiple rods for multiple situations.

 

Anyway, I'll wait for someone to field test 'em first.
