New Fenwick Elite Tech Bass

Post by Big-Bass » Sun May 22, 2022 4:48 pm

Anyone have any more info on these? They seem to be spec'd very similar to the old ET Smallmouth series.

Haven't seen these yet. That handle config doesn't look very comfortable :/

I bought five of the old ET Smallmouth rods, considering them the best rod value on the market at the time. These new rods have big shoes to fill, and it's good to see Fenwick trying to do that.

I, too, am not wowed by the handle design on the new bass spinning models, but if I saw them in a store I'd hold one to see how it felt.

I see that the Elite Tech Light line includes a surprising range of UL and light rods in shorter lengths that could be good for tight-quarters work. They appear to have thicker foregrips than the bass models, a plus for me.

Link says page not found on my end. I'd like to see these. I had a few of the old models before I fell down the hole, and I quite liked them.

I found the rods by clicking on that link, then selecting in order Shop By Brand/Fenwick/New Gear.
