This is an absolute classic rod and was in fact the first graphite rod to come on to the market 45 years ago.
Fenwick hmg rod review.
For the review today i m going to walk you through the fenwick hmg spinning rod.
The fenwick hmg was the original graphite rod.
Fenwick hmg spinning rod.
I do a lot of river jigging in the spring with 5 8 1oz jigs with a rubber worm tipped with a minnow using 10 braided line tied to an 8 10 10 flourocarbon leader in mostly the low 20s.
The one i bought is a 7 0 medium heavy.
Over the years the fenwick hmg series has been a staple product for the freshwater angler.
My original intention was to try it at the coast to fight bayside reds and specks but seeing as how the pandemic has halted most of that action i settled for testing it on some local bass.
Rated 5 out of 5 by takeakidfishing from great rod for walleye and perch i have been using my fenwick hmg 7 mf rod paired with a pflueger president 6930 6935 would be as good or better for over a year now.
Fenwick s carbon veil technology is the key component to the hmg rods continued field tests.
I paired the rod with a fenwick supreme and omg what an incredible set up.
My casting rod guide seating started to unravel after 10 years of tournament fishing.
It turned out to be the best choice i could have made.
It has the right attributes to successfully run a variety of hardbaits and the 6 6 length makes it easy to achieve.
The warranty on this rod expired years ago fenwick offered me a replacement brand new rod at a 45 discount and even allowed me to choose a different action power and length.
From our initial inspection and lab tests we surmised that our fenwick hmg gt66m would make a great crankbait stick.
These rods are carefully crafted with the power and control needed to handle all inshore species from small back creek trout to beach cruising tarpon.
Fenwick has continuously improved the material and features and so it continues to be one of the most popular light spinning poles on the market today.
I brought the hmg 66 m pole after owning two fenwick lightweight iron hawk poles.
Fenwick now offers the same quality of the freshwater hmg but with actions and components specifically built for inshore anglers.
Guides on the rod are described by the manufacturer as deep pressed titanium guides.
Ergonomic full cork grip handle.
Their popular spinning rods the fenwick gt has an upgraded design and are now rebranded as the fenwick eagle.
Reading that i d almost assume they were bare titanium metal guides but there is some type of ceramic insert.
I called fenwick pure fishing and emailed them a picture.
