Picked up 2 rods today at a pretty good price (150). Initially went to pick up this FF70 (B serial) and the seller also happened to have another “Fenwick steelhead rod” to show me as well. Turns out it was a Fenwick 335. I’ve seen photos online here of them being tobacco colored with gold wrappings and Mylar but this one has a unripened orange/yellowish color to them with brown metal ferrules. Thought you guys might like to take a look since I don’t see much 1st gen Fenwicks on here.
I’m excited to try shooting heads for stripers on the 335.
Both for color comparison
