I just bought a fenwick venture 6' M action casting rod at wal-mart for 5 bucks, it was makred down from $49.96. I've never used fenwick rods, all i have is st. croix and a few ugly sticks for my catfish setups. but i coudln't pass up a decent feeling rod for 5 bucks. I have an extra shimano cardiff 100 that I keep as back up reel in my bag. I plan on putting that on it and messing around with it. Has anyone else used theese rods before?

I have used a fenwick HMX series and its a really nice rod the feel of it but other than that im not sure i've felt the GT series but never fished with them

I actually have four of these rods. I have the older models with the dark blue blanks. 2 6'6" M spinning, 1 6'4" M spinning, and 1 7' MH spinning. I broke two (6'6") and replaced them both. I have had them for two years now and use them for river smallmouth on float fishing trips. Pretty good rod for the money. I paid $49.95 for all of mine. You got a great deal! Wish I could have found them for that.

Shoot dude, what a deal. If nothing else you have a spare if you break one. I am going to check out my local Wally World to see if they have any. I would buy some for some kids I know. Ghhessshhh, now I have to go to Wally World, and I don't do Wally World,lol.

Justfishin, That was the only rod like that they had, it had been mared down probally 4 or 5 times, they also had some catfish rods marked way down and a few quantum rods for like 10 bucks. I lucked out on the one i found. I hope you find some killer deals at your local wal-mart.

I had 2 Venturas gave em to Ron when I upgraded to HMX and HMG They were both 50 bucks each and worth every penny They fish Exactly the same as The HMX  Great buy!!!!!!

$5?!  That sounds like a deal.  

Are you seriously asking this question or just showing off? I mean you can't buy a Snoopy pole for $5. Get real. Of course this is a good deal.  Congratulations.

Cephkiller, I know I got lucky I found it, i told my buddy about what else they had and like 2 days later everything was gone, and thats odds here in the mountains of western north carolina. if its not a zebco 33 and rooster tail, not very many people know what your talking about. But I did get lucky and find a great deal, i've tried it for a few min. and i like they way the rod feels so far.
