Re: Old Fenwick Blank

First i,d like to thank everyone for they,re input. My fenwick fs 908-2 would appear to be fs=fiberglass spinning, 90inches, 8 heavy , 2piece. However it is telescoping so the flipping stick thing is still an issue in the back of my mind. When i decide to build it what would stop me from going spinning casting or flipping. I should point out i,ve never used a flippin stick and wouldn,t no it if i had one in my hand.Plan on doing some research on the topic.
Thanks Jim

you can make whatever you want out of it - spinning or casting. Characteristics of a bass flipping stick can also make a good musky rod, ocean jigging rod.. who knows... Pick an application that benefits the style of fishing you would use such a rod for and just pick components & guides that are in line with that.

Most of the time i buy a blank for some specific application, i hold it and think "man this would be great for X"... beauty is in the eye of the beholder i guess
