I know a guy that has a older Fenwick 8'9" but I'm not sure if it the casting or spinning guides. He used to bring it salmon fishing with me in the old mooching days of the 70's. I'm sure he still has it and doesn't fish any more. I run into him occasionally and I will ask him about it. I have two of the FS83C's....didn't realize they were a special item.....what do they go for? Also, what is the valuable serial # about.....any idea what that is about? I will post back on here if I get to talk with the friend that has the 89...............Les
