Hello DriftWood,

I noticed your request for the Fenwick FS83C and it gave me a good reason to register after being a lurker here since September. I do have one that has seen very, very little use. It belonged to my father and has been stored in the original Fenwick rod case for many years.
The only flaw is that the tip had been broken off at exactly 3" from the end. There was an other tip guide added at that point. It looks like the job was done well. When I compared it to my FS83C I looked at how spaghetti thin that last 3" were and thought it might not be that bad of a thing to lose that. If you think that it will work for you shoot me an e-mail and I can send you a photo. And a hello to all the members that I have been learning from for the last three months. Thank You, Gary Mullene
