Has anyone had any experience with these rods? Look good and are affordable. I'm wanting a new spinning rod but don't know what to get!

I've got a few Fenwick spinning rods.  I like them.  I think mine are HMG though.  I don't know the difference.

In the past I have used the Eagle GT, HMX, and the HMG. I have enjoyed the HMX and HMG the most and they are great all purpose rods.  I do not think you will be disappointed at all.

IMHO, If you like the Fenwick line which I do, look for a new [if you can find one] or used Techna AV and buy that.

 

I know you won't be disappointed.

 I can't say enough about Fenwick. Great rods that won't break the bank

Whch model of the HMG would you get for shakey heads, drop shots, and finesse type fishing?

Never really looked into Fenwick, but that is a nice rod for the money. My stepdad swears by Fenwick. I may have to look into the HMX. The 6'8" MH sounds intriguing.

Cabela's has them for $20 off right now

Thanks for letting me know!!

@BAssfisherman94 - I have Fenwick rods from the Techna, HMG and World Class lines. The new HMX, with the split grip (Half cork/half TAC) is my newest and is pretty awesome.  I was surprised, to be honest.  It's not like the old HMX.  Also, I've dealt with Fenwick customer service on two separate occasions and they were fantastic. I can't imaging you'd be disappointed.  $20 off is a great deal too.

 

 

P.S. My drop shot rod is a 7' M HMG.

 

I love my Elite Tech Smallmouth spinning and casting rods, and the HMX was very nice for the price but 2 weeks ago I got to use my friends new HMX. The one he got was like $80 on sale, it was a 7' medium light fast action and I have to admit, it felt great in hand and it surprisingly wasn't tip heavy, very well balanced for a sub $100 rod. If I was in the market for a rod like that and not knowing what the price was, I'd have no trouble paying $100 for that rod, Fenwick has really done a nice job with these rods, nothing fancy, just solid builds with great performance.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to get one tonight!

Let us know which model you get.  I have 2 Elite Tech Smallmouth casting rods...thanks to smalljaw talking me into them...2 Techna AV casting rods, a RiverRunner spinning rod, an older HMG casting rod and a glass spinning rod that is over 40 years old.  Fenwick may not be the latest, greatest sensation on the market, but in my eyes they make a quality rod at a fair price.  I feel certain you will enjoy that rod for many years to come.

Purchased the 7' medium fast action model. Cant wait to get it!!!!
