Have 2 friends that still fish with ol' Fenwicks; one a FS79C and the other a FS83C. Both with ABU Garcia 5000's, of course. Built a nice Lami X96JC rod for one this Xmas and his main concern was whether he would still be able to fish his Fenny on my boat. Some things die hard.

Weird, I bought my first Fenwick at Warsahl's and they aren't even listed as a dealer. I also worked at Jafco Tukwila a few years later and don't remember them even carrying fishing gear.
