Vintage Fishing Rods - Featherweight Products, Fenwick, and Lew's
These have been in a rack near my garage ceiling for years. Pulling some stuff out for a yd sale and realized these may be worth a bit more than they used to be. I don't like fishing with pistol grip rods which is why there were never put into service. Because of the cost of shipping an "oversized package I would like to sell these as one lot.
1. Featherweight Products Rawhide 6020F also marked NAT ITALINO. No grip (grip on this and the Fenwick below was probably a Featherweight Champion which got parted out years ago.) Dark brown blank with light brown and maybe reddish wraps (originally yellow and red??), 5 guides and a tip, all guide inserts are present. Some edge wear on the Featherweight label - otherwise intact. Part that fits into the grip has some corrosion.
2. Fenwick MODEL CA624 - no grip. 6 guides and tip. Fenwick mustard color blank with red, black and gold wraps. All guides and guide inserts present. Manufacturers label complete. Nice blank.
3. Lew's Speed Stick #4-156HOBB, almost all of the manufacturer markings are present. Tournament Grade. Reel seat is the Lew's Fugi Speed FIT. Black blank (of course) 6 guides plus tip, Brown and silver wraps, all guide inserts are present.
I hate the term "excellent for it's age" but that sorta applies here. They do show some aging but I would rate all three as near excellent.
Given shipping cost, I would like $125 shipped to the lower 48. $100 if you wanna pick them up near Englewood Fl. Thanks for looking.
