Fly Anglers Embrace Fenwick World Class
Family of high-performance rods expands
Columbia, SC – Just last year Fenwick® introduced the World Class family of high-performance fast-action y rods and the reception by y anglers has been great. Fenwick is expanding the line up to o er more versions from a 7-foot 3-weight to a 13-foot, 6-inch 8/9 weight.
World Class fast-action blanks are built with 3M® Powerlux® 500 technology and composites. The rods are more powerful and lighter due to the high concentration of nano-sized spheres of silica combined with high modulus graphite bers.
AAA cork is used for the reverse halfwell split grip on the 3- to 6-weight models and the extended full well handle on certain models. Double-handed World Class rods measure from 11 feet, 6 inches to 13 feet, 6 inches. The rods also feature a secure, exotic hardwood reel seat design. The butt cap is laser engraved with the Fenwick logo.
Eighteen new models are added to the original eleven. All World Class y rods are either four- or six-piece and delivered with custom Fenwick cloth-covered rod tube and bag. MSRP for the Fenwick World Class Fly Rod ranges from $299.95 to $499.95.
Good to see you back, Fenwick. I started my 50+ years of fly-fishing with a Woodstream.
