Grizzly-Fenwick FL-842 7ft 6/7 weight custom fiberglass fly rod (FF70) - for Mabel Gilden
One of a pair of rare and unusual custom Grizzly-Fenwick rods that we have. These were lightly fished and the general condition is exceptional. Both were made by the same person and are from the mid-1960s. The grips are large and the blank correlates with the venerable FF70 7ft 6 weight. We had a FF70 on hand to compare these to and to our surprise they are much stiffer, even preferring a 7 weight line in some cases. Both are in excellent condition with slight variations in the thread used. Could be great for the collection or an interesting light bass rod.
Model: Grizzly-Fenwick FL-842 (FF70)
Length: 84 inches
Line: 6 weight (we prefer 7)
Action: Moderate (stiffer than we normally expect from this period Fenwick)
Weight: 3.45 ounces
