Super User HoosierHawgs Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Looking at Silver Hawk rods in Cabela's. Torn between a 6'6" ML and a 7' M. They will be for general finesse. Drop shot, shakey head, weightless worms with 7-8# Sniper FC. Which one would you get? I can only buy one. Quote
Super User webertime Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 I have the 7ft ML spinning and I love it for drop shop and Spybaits. I throw it with a 1000 Saros and 6lb Inviszx. Nice comfortable rod with good sensitivity for the $. Compared to other $100 rods it's right there with the best... At $60, it's a no brainer. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted October 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Just bought a 7' Medium. Decided I needed a little extra power. 60 bucks was a great deal for sure. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 They are made exclusively for Cabelas by Fenwick. You'll never find a rod with Alconite guides for $60 anywhere unless it is used. Quote

Nice comfortable rod with good sensitivity for the $. Compared to other $100 rods it's right there with the best... At $60, it's a no brainer. My rod arsenal is almost all Fenwick and I've got 3 different Silverhawks. LOVE THEM. I've got one that is a 7' ML Fast action rod I pair with a Pflueger Supreme. I use it for dropshot, weightless T rigged plastics, and light grub/swimbaits. It's probably my favorite setup. Go get yourself one! Quote
PourMyOwn Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Just bought a 7' Medium. Decided I needed a little extra power. 60 bucks was a great deal for sure. You'll be glad you bought the longer rod for those applications. You can't go wrong with a Fenwick, either. I lov all three of mine. Quote
WPCfishing Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I was at Cabela's today, the Silver Hawk I handled was an excellent rod. Lite, well balanced, ACS reel seat and quality guides. Just a very nice rod on sale for 60 bucks. If they had a 7' heavy I'd have bought it. Quote
SMITTY0045 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I have a 6'6" M and i am very happy with it for most of my finesse applications. Can't beat it for $60 Quote
Craiger12 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I was looking at the Silver Hawk online recently. How does it compare to the HMG? Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted November 13, 2015 Super User Posted November 13, 2015 I have a 7' M/F casting Silver Hawk. It's light and has a superb fit & finish. It's not as sensitive as my ***, Kistler, or Abu Villain, but it's not terribly far off either. As an 'every day' rod it's great, especially at Cabela's current price. Quote
