With the arrival of the 70's an exciting new material caught the imagination of the rod designers everywhere. This amazing material was not only lighter and stronger than fiberglass, it was stiffer as well. The new material was graphite. It was just what they were looking for and in 1973, Fenwick became the first rod manufacturer to introduce an all-graphite fishing rod, the now world famous HMG. It stood for High Modulus Graphite, and it was a technology that would not only revolutionize the method of making fishing rods; it would revolutionize the way anglers fished as well. The measurements of this rod are 9' and #8 Weight line that only weighs 4 oz.
