i remember the fenwick boron rods, i had one for a while and it was a different experience. In their interpretation it was a slower fuller working rod than what is the fashion with rod designers now. i heard through the grapevine that it was crankt to work with, required either glass or graphite to be used along with it as the fibers could not be crossed over each other.

My journey through FF led me back to cane as a better fishing tool than graphite. these days the plastic rods feel too light and they work me half to death to get them to work so i assume the transformation in retrograde to cane is complete.
