    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
