Vintage Fenwick PLS61 Pristine Unused 6' spinning rod 6-12# line. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This fishing rod was part of my father's estate. He never used it. We found it in the garage in the shape it's in right now: unused, still wrapped up in the case. It has been put together a few times as shown on the ferrule (by me, dreaming, speculating, wondering, remembering–fishing without any water, if you will) but has never had a reel in the seat, has never had any line throug...h the guides, has never pitted a surprised fish's explosive will to survive against the beast that would be human.
The serial number is "S408838", which as best as I can determine from research, may mean that it was originally made for the Kennedy family to use at Martha's Vineyard in the shattered decades after JFK himself was no longer captaining the ship. The "S" may mean Ted himself ordered it for his personal use during his occasional plane trips to Aspen. How my father ended up with this fishing rod is something I'll never know for sure. What I do know for sure is that you can now own this sleek piece of history, and bring your own dreams down to earth and into the drink by bidding up.
For auction is one pristine, never-used, Fenwick PLS61, 2-piece fishing rod, Fenwick compartmentalized rod protector, and Fenwick hard plastic rod case.
