Bassin_49er Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I am thinking about getting a fenwick elete tech rod (I get 40% off) - are these rods good? Thanks! Quote
pitchinallday Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 For 200 bucks there are better choices for a little more money i.e. Zillion or dobyns rods. But for 40% off I don't that can be beat! Quote
Super User Micro Posted March 22, 2009 Super User Posted March 22, 2009 The Elite Tech are great rods. Very hard to beat for $200. I have the 7'3" EliteTech Crankshaft Rod (MH/MF). I use this for deep diving cranks. I shopped a lot of cranking rods before I settled on this rod. It has double-footed Fuji Alconite guides all the way up. There is about 9 inches of grip behind the reel seat, with a nice pistolgrip (for lack of a better term) behind that. This allows for very good control on two-handed casts. The lower half of the blank is graphite, and the upper half is figerglass. It loads up well with heavy cranks. It has an appropriate delay for a cranking rod. All in all, its a great cranking rod. I have my Zillion High Power on this rod. (though I have a Zillion 6.3:1 on it for the picture) Quote
