A true Smallmouth fisherman appreciates the tools of the trade as much as his next catch. The new Fenwick EliteTECH Smallmouth Series combines over 50 years of experience crafting fishing rods with quality components for specific species applications. The high modulus graphite blank was designed specifically for smallmouth fishing and is complimented by new titanium frame guides with Zirconium inserts, reducing the overall rod weight and wear on your line. The finishing touch is our new 'hidden handle' design with TAC inlay that provides enhanced sensitivity and comfort for all day on the water.
