Like most, I didn't expect to come by one of these for sale. So when I did, I didn't hesitate. In all my searching, I've only seen two of these for sale, neither on Ebay. While I've only seen three or four of these in total (most in this thread, which is why I added to it), this is the first Voyager I've seen. It's a "G" series. I don’t know much about these other than they were order only through the custom shop and listed that way in a few catalogs. Not sure how many years. It is the only 5wt labeled two digit model (the early Feralite FF70 did have a No 5 sticker but most think it was a 5-6 as labeled in later years). It’s 1/2” shy of 8’ and comes in at 3.07 oz on my scale. This one has no custom name on it. Just looks like a factory Fenwick. It's seen some use, but overall in very good condition. I did use a bit of 320 on the grip. Maybe the rarest of the Fenwick's.
Haven't put a reel on it yet, but waving it across my chest, it is the most noodly Fenwick I've handled. Soft tip, soft mid and soft butt. Needless to say, deep flexing. It must be really nice for medium distance dry fly casts. I think I read once that is what they were built for. Seems like it would be fun for any size Trout. When it stops raining, I'll get out an FF75, 79, 805 and do some comparisons and report back. I will catch Trout on it this Spring.
