Fenwick® HMG™ Spinning and Casting Rods

New Style, New Construction, More New Models

Fenwick is introducing more new models for 2003, with new construction, from the makers of the very first graphite rods.  

Incorporating technology that is exclusive to Fenwick, the HMG line of high-quality fishing rods has expanded to cover every aspect of freshwater fishing. Now anglers have a choice of 33 models for fishing pursuits such as ultra-light trout and panfish action, high country trout on a fly, Mississippi delta redfish, north country pike & musky and largemouth from coast to coast.

HMG rods now are constructed with Fenwick's exclusive Carbon Veil Technology. Carbon fibers are integrated into the rod blank with a random, interwoven pattern. The result is 100% high modulus graphite rods with less mass that are extremely light and sensitive. These rods have improved blank strength.  

Another Fenwick exclusive on all HMG rods, except the spin/fly model, is an integrated soft-touch reel seat. These reel seats provide maximum grip comfort and control even when conditions are cold and wet.  

The hard chromium SS304 guide system is standard on HMG rods. SS304 guides are up to 55% lighter than comparable conventional ceramic guides, yet are 20 times tougher. These guides reduce line friction and dissipate heat better so that monofilament line will last 10 times longer than with other guides, 5 times longer with superlines. The concept guide spacing adds to the HMG's sensitivity and strength.  

There are 20 spinning and 11 casting & TriggerStik® models new to the HMG series.  Spinning rods range from 4 '6" to 7'0" and come in ultra light to med-heavy actions. Casting rods are available ranging from 5'6" to 7'0" including the 7'0" TriggerStik with a carbolloy tip top.  Actions range from light to extra-heavy.   Fly rods are also available and will be reviewed later.

Spinning rods range from $109.95 to $119.95

Casting and TriggerStik rods range from $109.95 to $134.95

A telescoping FlippinStik sells for about $124.95.

The new HMG spin/fly rod is about  $119.95.

Fenwick® Techna AV® Spinning and Casting Rods

The industry's fastest, most technologically advanced rod – that's the multi-tapered, ultra-high modulus IM8 Fenwick Techna AV specialty series. Cast any Fenwick Techna AV and you'll realize how remarkable Aramid Veil technology truly is. And while the Techna AV series is typified by extra fast actions, this year Fenwick has added a few moderate actions for situations where a softer rod handles better.

Ultra-thin, this superbly balanced IM8 graphite rod blank is wrapped with Aramid Veil™ shield. Techna AV® rods come with Fuji® reel seats, and their Titanium SS304 Guide System is 20 times tougher and up to 55% lighter than ceramic SIC guides. Concept guide spacing improves sensitivity and maximizes blank strength.

Providing up to 4 times more impact resistance than ordinary graphites, the Aramid Veil acts like a sedative on the high-modulus graphite. It's strong yet lightweight, giving you jaw-dropping performance with finishing school manners – and a wider range of presentations and techniques. Straighter tracking for pinpoint accuracy. Sensitivity without static. All promises the Fenwick Techna AV naturally keeps.

Available in 8 spinning  & 6 casting  rods, including 4 triggerstiks, an extended length casting and a telescopic flippin'stik;  light to heavy actions in lengths from 5'9" to 7'9", 14 in all. 

About $219.95 to $269.95

Fenwick® HMG AV® Spinning and Casting Rods

In a word smooth. That's how the new Fenwick HMG AV can be best described.  Here's a rod with a bloodline traceable to the first graphite rod on the planet, yet updated for the most modern techniques, lines and presentations.

How? Fenwick has included both fast and moderate actions. They have applied Aramid Veil technology to the rod blank, reducing vibration and providing the dampening necessary for straighter, longer casts. Fenwick has also added the SS304 titanium guide system – a  55% weight savings over ceramic Sic guides--to give them near-perfect balance and sensitivity.

Fenwick HMG AV rods come in 17 spinning  & 15 casting  models, including 4 triggerstiks, a telescopic flippin'stik and 3 salmon/steelhead rods; in extra and ultra-light to heavy actions in lengths from 5'6" to 8'6", 32 in all. 

About $219.95 to $269.95

Fenwick® Fenglass® Spinning and Casting Rods

Constructed with Fenwick's own E-glass, these rods possess qualities unlike any other fiberglass rods. Because they're built with faster actions, they should. Fenglass rods are highly durable, yet softer than graphite. More forgiving. And ideal in quick-retrieve applications like spinner and crankbait fishing where a softer rod aids in hooking and holding power.

Besides being a joy to cast, E-glass construction and advanced resins make Fenglass more durable than graphite. Feralite ferrules on our multi-piece rods deliver the action of a one-piece rod.

Fenwick Fenglass rods come in 8 spinning  & 5 casting  models, including a triggerstik, 2 downrigger, a four-piece spinning/fly combination and 4 salmon/steelhead rods; in ultra-light to med-heavy actions in lengths from 5'3" to 9'0", 13 in all.   

About $84.95 to $109.95

Fenwick® HMX™ Spinning and Casting Rods

Some Rods Just Feel Right. The Fenwick HMX series, with its true fast taper, happens to be one of them. This allows for faster actions with no weight increase.

Cross-scrim adds strength and balance to the butt section, making the HMX series ideal for situations where quick reflex hooksets and light weight are especially important. Created with fast actions that punch baits straight into stiff headwinds, the HMX's crisp tip also creates quick hooking power.

And when the fish decides it's not quite time to quit, you'll find a wealth of power in the butt section to help them reconsider that decision

Each HMX IM6 graphite blank rod features durable Cross Scrim construction that utilizes overlapping layers to achieve exceptional strength and action, and comfortable cork grips.  Other features include hard Chromium SS304 guides with the Concept system that are up to 55% lighter than conventional guides, maximizing sensitivity and produce less friction to improve casting distance yet are 20 times tougher.

Fenwick HMX rods are available in 25 spinning  & 18 casting  models, including 10 triggerstiks, a telescopic flippin'stik, and 10 salmon/steelhead rods; from ultra-light to extra-heavy actions, in lengths from 4'9" to 10'6", 43 in all.  

About $69.95 to $99.95
