The Baron Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I’m looking at some used gear tomorrow, getting a left hand baitcaster setup to try. One of the rods is a available is a Fenwick EliteTech 7’ medium, which I believe is a fast action. What niche might that rod fill? Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted October 23, 2019 Super User Posted October 23, 2019 The discontinued Smallmouth version of that rod was my favorite for years. Snapped it on a large cat this summer. Was my Rage Rig and skipping rod. 1 Quote
waymont Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 They have nice actions and are well balanced, well made rods. 1 Quote
PourMyOwn Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 That would be a great rod for Texas rigged tubes, among other things. It's a very versatile rod that could be the rod you use for a bunch of different lures. Only trial and error will tell you for sure, but either way, it's a rod that is worth owning. 1 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted October 23, 2019 Super User Posted October 23, 2019 lightly-weighted Plastics in open-water or light-cover situations -- light t-rigged worms, flukes, tubes, grubs, paddle-tailed swimbaits. Also underspins, finesse jigs, smaller (3/16-1/4oz or thereabouts) spinnerbaits and buzzbaits... Probably more a jack-of-all-trades rod than a niche rod -- it should be very competent at many applications (other than heavy-cover) as long as you stay within it's lure-weight rating. 1 Quote
