    Default Two old Fenwick fiberglass fly rods = SOLD

    Fenwick FF805 is 8' #5 line in 2 piece......our top selling trout rod back in the 1970s.

    It comes with the plastic triangular case and cloth sack.

    This was the size fly rod many of us used for trout "back in the day."

    I am pricing it at $50 but is you drive to my house I will sell it for $25 to a forum member.

    _________________________________

    Older Fenwick FF85 fiberglass fly rod is 8'6" #7/8/9 line in 2 pieces. era 1960s - It is really a #7 line rod.

    In the 1970s it was labeled the FF857 - It comes with the round aluminum rod case and cloth sack.

    I am asking $50 but if you drive to my house I will sell it to a forum member for $25.

    This was an iconic fly rod used for heavy trout and light steelhead. I had a nice small fighting butt installed on it.

    What are the markings on the butt section of that rod?

    Can you text me a picture of that reel?


    *For dry fly stream fishing these short soft old fiberglass fly rods are fun.

    I'm trying to figure out when I can make the drive to Davis. Or it might be worth it to pay the price and have you ship them. When will you be in the area. I plan on doing a couple days of shad fishing when I get back from Baja. Which will be around the end of May. Are you in CA now or FL

    There was a 100 hour limit on this, right Bill? Since Jay missed the window, I’ll pick them up tomorrow.

    I told him I would buy them for 50.00 each and pay shipping. Sorry Wayne no 100 hour limit. You snooze, you lose.
