Its hard to find a more useful fly rod then the Fenwick 706 for small to medium stream fishing throughout the US. Handles 24 inch browns capably, but still allows 8 inch native brookies to be fight it out. Short enough to be handy in tight spots, and still able to make those distance casts when required. I have enjoyed the performance of this fiberglass rod for decades and adding this backup to my collection is a satisfying decision.

The action on this rod is a bit faster than the 2 piece version, but it casts well and easily . I use a Sylk 6 wt on it since most of my fishing is at short distances. Traditional Fenwick quality.
