Does Anyone Like The Fenwick Eagle GT?????

[eyedabassman]

I would like to get some input on these rods. I was thinking of picking up a few for tubes or small worms ect. I think they are like $ 50.00 but can you feel the bite with these rods? I am looking at 7' MH and a  M action. :-/ :-/

If you want to try a Fenwick, I suggest you buy one Techna AV instead of "a few" Eagle GTs.

Really great rods for the money The first "good" rods I ever used were the Fenwick Gt's and Venturas I have now used the HMX and HMG all great rods and i just bought a used TECHNIA AV Im gonna use that soon at THE FORK for the first time. Anything I have used with a Fenwick name on it has exceeded all expectations

As a teen in the 80's Fenwick was the brand that we all dreamed about getting.

muddy_mann, I think I've seen that you are also a fan of the BPS Extreme.  Where would guys place the Extreme relative to the Fenwick line-up.  Thanks!

I can't comment on the size rod you are interested in, but I recently picked up a fenwick eagle gt 4'9" UL for my crappie dock rod. Never owned a fenwick before, but for the specific use I bought this rod for...it excels. A friend has just ordered one and another is thinking about getting one.  For the price, and a 5 yr. warranty, I'd say it is  a real decent rod.

iD SAY THE bps EXTREME IS COMPRABLE IN FEEL AND SUCH TO THE hmx

Thanks for the info on the Extreme.

BTW, I have a Fenwick Eagle from around 1994.  It is a 5' UL.  It was a lot of fun with trout, but definately not for anything larger.  Cheers!

If it's all you've got to spend, they are well worth it.

Can't beat a $50-60 rod with a 5 year warranty.

The first Fenwick I bought was an Eagle GT.  I thought it was a very light and sensitive rod.  The only thing I didn't like about it was the guides felt kinda cheap.  I have since upgraded to Techna AV's, but I didn't get rid of my GT until just last week when I sold it to a friend.  It is the best $50 rod you will ever buy, and it will make you want more of their rods.
