After not having much luck on finding the the shelf I thought I would check out a makeshift sporting goods section. I couldn't beleive it. Here was this vintage Fenwick Feralite Voyageur pack rod model FF 75-4, 7 1/2 footer 3 1/2 oz with correct sock, and Westminster,CA aluminum tube. It is used little, almost minty. About the only thing that could make it any better was to get a 50% senior citizen discount too. The serial number begins with an "H" which I beleive makes it about 1967 vintage. Joe

If the thrift store supports a charity, you should remember it in your will, especially after you cash in on galleta loco's lottery recommendation. No telling what fate you rescued the "pole" from. I have an FF70-4 (also an "H") and an FF756-4. They are both nice rods and I think you'll find this to be one you'll make sure gets some work.

I have the same rod including bag and tube, except mine is the 8-foot model FF80-4. The FF80-4 is one of my favorite rods.

I was grinnin', laughin and had to suppress a big whoop'n holler. I couldn't wait to take a couple of pictures and post them on the forum. I have been unbelievably lucky the last year in finds at thrift antique stores and pawn shops. But nothing will ever come close to the once in a hundred life times what I found in a pawn shop in November. It has nothing to do with fly fishing or I would post some pictures. Joe
