This weekend I found a mint Fenglass 766-4 a garage sale (brown tube, brown sock) I didn't think I should pass up. I know little about this rod, in fact most Fenwick rods, but hope someone can provide me a bit of info on it and its value. I'd like to fish it this season. It appears it would be a good streamer rod. Thanks for your help and I must say, I really like the wealth of information I find on this forum. Just a ton of collective knowledge from A-Z.

Bckeddy,

Welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders! You have a Fenwick rod made about 10-12 years ago. Fenwick produced a small series of retro fiberglass rods that were sold at attractive prices. The market wasn't ready for a large glass project and many of the rods were sold at deep discount. In general they are pretty good rods. The FF766-4 is a 7½ foot, 4 piece, 3¾ oz. rod marked for a 6 weight fly line. You should probably try it with 5 weight, 6 weight, and 7 weight lines and see which one(s) you like best.

You may have stumped Keith with the rod model of your Fenwick (a very difficult thing to do, I might add), but he is right on the money with his price estimate. I also think you should "Go fish that thing". It should make a very portable, all purpose fly rod.

I owned one briefly. It is part of my long and frustrating search for a pack rod. I found it a little heavy and not quite what I'm looking for so I sold it soon after. It was a smooth casting rod, as I recall.
