I broke three rods in my life and two of them were Fenwicks. One, an original HMG and another new HMX a couple years later - one of them wasn't even a month old. Both broke during a completely typical encounter with a fish and, in both cases, Fenwick refused to warranty either rod... as a result, I am done with their graphite series.

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
