For anybody out there that might be looking for an old Fenwick fiberglass rod, they can still be found for less than $100.00 without having to make auction bids. I purchased my NEW condition Fenwick Classic Glass from Earl Grant in Warminster, PA. He was a pleasure to deal with. He takes only personal checks or money orders, which worried me a little at first, but I thought if he tries to cheat me, I'll just sic the postal inspectors on him. I sent him a personal check on a Friday, and on the next Friday my rod had arrived. Very quick service considering my check had to be mailed to him. I have had slower service from online purchases. I just checked his web site, www.fishingcollectables.com, and he still has several old Fenwicks available in Very Good to Excellent condition. He also has some bamboo rods. I have no connection to his business and have never met the man, but he does provide quick, honest service and has some very interesting gear to sell.
