Fenwick Elite Spinning Rod

The 30-ton graphite blanks are exceptionally lightweight and sensitive, with the backbone to control large fish. Boating anglers will love the carbon-core construction that has an inner-spiral, carbon-wrap layer with outer layers of rolled carbon. Carbon Bound woven carbon thread increases strength and provides balance and longevity. AAA cork grips, rounded off with Fuji K guides with Alconite inserts, ensure a good grip and tanglefree casts. $150 to $200; purefishing.com/pages/ fenwick
