We completely rebuilt the Elite from top to bottom to accomplish this. Constructed from a blend of 36 and 30 ton graphite and our proprietary reinforcing resin resulting in an incredibly sensitive rod that lacks nothing in the power department. Fenwick designed soft touch reel seats fit naturally in hand and amplify anglers’ ability to detect changes in structure, lure movement, and most importantly bites. The new Elite is the result of a true nationwide team effort that brings all of these actions together to create a collection of the best fishing rods for anglers regardless of what fish they are chasing
