The First Generation Feralite Flyrods (1963-1971)
The blanks were initially made by Grizzly, but eventually blank production was brought in house (along with Grizzly). These rods had the patented Feralite ferrule, a tip-over-butt fiberglass arrangement that has since been copied by almost every other rod maker. These rods were generally full-flexing and slow (to a modern graphite-trained fisherman). Vic Johnson lists at least 30 fly rods. Even then, Fenwick apparently made non-catalog fly rods and gave them model numbers. For instance, I have an FF83 that was designed for the Golden Gate casting club. It is lighter version of the FF84 but is not seen in the reference books or catalogs.
