Fenwick Eagle Travel Rod

[OldTimer]

Sounds like a nice rod.

I just a few minutes ago finally received my Rapala Magnum Baja Travel Series 7'6", 4 piece, salt water spinning, 12 to 25 lb test, MH action, 3/4 ounce to 2.5 ounce lures. I actually bought this well over a month ago from Cabela's......... but it was on backorder since then. $89.99 CAN.

Nice looking rod, well finished and certainly big time wow stiff. But I was looking for something to have ready for a few future plans we have to salt water locations. It's touted as a "beach/pier" rod.......... not a "surf rod" like its series' bigger versions (9'6", 10'6", 11'-6", 13'-6"). Going to team it up with either a PENN Z, or Zebco Cardinal 6X (both are older classic salt water spinning reels).

I was happily surprised by the well made zippered, and well padded rod tube it came with. Even with the rod tube the unit will still fit nicely in my suitcase and avoid extra separate cases.

I will give it a test once the soft water season starts, perhaps while on a cats or carp outing. I'll write a better report later as well.

Cheers,
