I have always wanted to try a Fenwick FS 83 C for pulling plugs and bait divers for Steelhead and Silvers. I was in Hill Creek Outdoors in Castle Rock the other day and noticed one for sale. I heard Fenwick discontinued that model so I called Fenwick's toll free number. They confirmed the FS 83 C has been discontinued. At less than 70 % of manufactures suggested retail I talked myself into buying it. Hopefully the softness of the tip will increase the hook up ratio and shows how my plug is working better than my current rod, outweighing any mushy fish fighting tendencies. If you want one and you see one for sale, buy it. When the current stock is gone that will be the last of them.
