I came across a Fenwick Safari pack rod in a local antique shop and was intrigued enough to take it home. I need to get some more photos but for now I just have this one of it in the travel case.

The rod is a six foot six piece fly spin rated for a 6wt fly line. I think the model is SF60-6. It has the original pamphlet and appears to have seen little use.

Wondering if anyone else on the forum has one? They seem pretty rare.

Here is a shot of the inside. As mentioned all in very good condition.

Yes, please let us know how it does. Conventional wisdom is that a spin/fly combo does neither well, but maybe this one will. It would be very convenient if so.

wow that's pretty.. never seen a SF60-6 before.

I have two SFs, the 75-5 is a decent fly rod, the 70-4 not so much. I'll be interested to get your take on this one.
