Fenwick Elite Tech- Muskie Big Bait Casting Rod

"Fenwick ELITE TECH rods are the perfect fishing rods," says Hank Parker. As one of the world’s premier rod builders, at Fenwick we challenged our Senior Engineers and our Elite Pros to think outside the box, and to design and produce the finest fishing rods ever built, and they over-delivered.

 

It's no secret that big muskies need a big figure 8 at boat side. These rods are long enough to figure 8 even the largest of fish. Increased strength in the backbone allows these rods to perform great under water when making the large turns, even with today's large bladed buck tails. Casting heavy lures will feel like a dream, from #10 blades to large plastics these blanks are the perfect combination of power and strength.

 

From tip to butt these rods were designed with no barriers in mind, using optimal blank construction and components the Fenwick engineers held nothing back to exceed the team's expectations.

Fenwick Elite Tech- Muskie Glass Trolling Casting Rod

It doesn't matter if you're running planner boards or flat-lining crankbaits; the key to any good trolling rod is the ratio of backbone strength to tip flex. A 60/40 delay gives you all the power needed in a high modulus fish fighting butt section and a soft flexible tip that allows your bait to work properly.

 

The TAC Handle material is perfect for yanking the rod from a holder. Lighter and more durable than cork, it makes you wonder why you'd fish with anything else.

Fenwick HMX Great Lakes Spinning Rods

Fast-taper, fast-action, cross-scrim graphite performance. Some rods just feel right. The Fenwick HMX Great Lakes Spinning Rod, with its true fast taper, happens to be one of them. This allows for faster actions with no weight increase.

 

Created with fast actions that punch baits straight info stiff headwinds, the HMX crisp tip also creates quick hook setting power.  And when the fish decides it's not quite time to quit, you’ll find all the power need in the butt section to help them reconsider that decision.

 

Cross-scrim IM7 graphite adds strength and balance to the butt section, making the HMX Great Lakes Spinning Rod ideal for situations where quick reflex hooksets and light weight are important. The cross-scrim construction also lends exceptional sensitivity and responsiveness.

Fenwick HMX Triggerstik Muskie W/Carbolloy Tip Top

Ever notice as the wind picks up, so does the traffic headed back to the boat landing?  Many anglers forget that increased wave action mottles the water’s surface, allowing you to get even closer to skittish fish.

 

Like that idea?  Then here’s your rod, the dual-tapered Fenwick HMX.  Created with fast actions that punch baits straight info stiff headwinds, the HMX crisp tip also creates quick hook setting power.  And when the fish decides it's not quite time to quit, you’ll find all the power need in the butt section to help them reconsider that decision.
