Brown blank, 8' logo grizley fenwick, hard to read the # ?. Could be LB or JB 969,# 12 tip butt about 1.06 (has cord wrap on butt, with some math work). 96 would be 8', would the 9 be the power? looking for line rating any other Info. Not sure about the 969, the 6 is hard to read. Thank you for your time Jim
Forum: rodboard

What is the line rating of a LB959 Fenwick? This was fenwick answer of the D8, I am guessing 20/50 or 30/60, what do the catalog say? last resort no other sites could answer the ?. thank you Jim

Older fenwick rod, LB969----8' jig rod, has the action like a truline D8, feels like a 30/60 line weight, does anyone have a older fenwick book that gives the true line weight. Thank You Jim
