Fenwick Elite Tech Ice Fishing Spinning Rod

I bought three Feniwck Elite Tech Ice Fishing spinning rods 24" med-light action over amazon for Christmas. We just put lines on our new reels to prep for a trip tomorrow and noticed that the eyelets on all three rods are not straight with the reel. All three rods eyelets are tweaked to the right of where the reel sits. They are in line with each other fine, but not with the reel. I contacted the seller to ask about this, so I will update my review depending on how that goes. Does anyone know if there would be a reason for this other than manufacturing issues? As well, I know it is medium light action, but it seems VERY slender at the tip, hopefully it will hold up. We previously had Eagle Claw, same size and action, and we managed to pull up nice big lake trout, not so sure if these will hold up. Crooked eyelets, on purpose?

Excellent value for the price. I’ve used mine on my IFish Pro with an Okuma ABF20 baitfeeder reel as well as a dead stick rod and jigging Rippin Raps, Jigs, various spoons etc. 4 stars only because it’s not a high end graphite rod with that kind of sensitivity. I own some higher end TUCRs but I don’t believe you need that to fill every role. That’s were this 36” Elite Tech comes in.

Really sensitive,strate eyes,so glad not having a reel seat on a quality ice rod is a thing of the past! Winter or summerwith Fenwick you can't go wrong!!

Very well-built ice fishing poleGood strong backbone with a fast tip A good-quality ice rod only bends at 2/3 of the rod length and fenwick's do just that

Perfect size, very sensitive, overall all a great rod

Came as described and welcomed by our ice fisherman!

These guys figured out how to fit a 30” fishing rod into a 20” box, just simply break it in half and then ship it, real nice. I gave it 1 star since it was the correct item at least.

You can’t beat a fenwick
