Digging through the rod closet and found this rod which I'm guessing is a early Fenwick. I'm trying to clear unused rods out and was hoping someone had an idea of value on this one. Guessing would make a great bass rod. Have to try it out in the backyard tomorrow.
Rod has good ferrule fit. Rod weight is only 4.05 Ozs.

Thanks,
Barry

I think the Grizzly indicates a blank from Don Green's company, before it was merged into Fenwick. Similar to Fenwick glass, but no Feralite tip over butt ferrule. The ferrule appears to be inexpensive chrome plated brass. The wraps are too consistent to be a typical amateur build. I don't recall that Grizzly made complete rods, but maybe they did for a year or two.

Value? $30-40 if the ferrule is in good shape? I haven't seen many Grizzly based rods over the years.

Thanks Tom

I thought the F in front of the 85 may have indicated Fenwick.
