Fenwick still has lifetime warranty on some of their products, Im not a rod snob and would rather spend more on a good reel and just get an adequate rod. If you are casting, Id look at something about 7ft with a medium action, I like medium/light for jigging typically.

I was visiting with wade at dakota tackle on friday and he was thinking about extending his spring sale another week due to the storm. Im going to get a new fenwick HMX probably because the guides are sturdier than some the more expensive rods that come with the lifetime warranty.
