I Just found an old fenmick yellow jacket KS72L 6' [183cm] 1/8- 1/2 oz lure 4-10 lb line 3 1/4 oz [90gm] Thats what is printed in rod. Ive been looking all over internet for info about this rod and cant find anything. Was wondering if anyone out there can help me out and know anything about this model. It is a spinning rod. Thanks

Question
Hi Joe, Thanks for the info
I recently purchased a fenwick yellowjacket then did some research. One sold on ebay a few years ago for $285.
Is this price a fluke or is this rod that valuable?
Thanks again

Answer
Hi Dennis,

I don't see any casting or spinning rods by Fenwick that carry that kind of value in my reference books. I am looking for more books on Fenwick and may find additional info later. I don't have listings of the individual models on anything but fly rods.

I did take a look online and saw the same sale report you did. I don't know whether the Yellowjacket is a rare model or not. It could have been someone filling out a collection or it could have been a really nice and really rare model. Sorry, I don't know.

I do know vintage Fenwick rods have a strong following and their owners are very loyal, refusing to fish with anything else. I have done a number of repairs on vintage Fenwicks to keep them in service as their owners can't bear to part with their best fishing rod.

You may have a real winner or maybe just a really good rod. Enjoy it.

Thanks, Joe
