Kent, Washington, a Seattle suburb southeast of downtown, is where the Fenwick fishing pole originated, a rod that’s widely known and sold worldwide today. Fenwick was founded in 1952, named after the lake in Kent. Shop was originally set up in an unused double garage on Lake Fenwick, where five Seattle businessmen and avid flyfishermen put post World War II material to use. Fenwick was an early pioneer, the first to produce a fiberglass fishing rod that proved resistant to corrosive salt water. Soon, Fenwick earned a reputation for making high-quality, durable fishing rods, snagging nearly half of the fishing market. The company would go on to produce and sell the first all-graphite fishing rod in 1973. This Fenwick rod is in good overall condition as are the green flannel sock and the Fenwick aluminum carrying tube which has slight scuffing and measures 2.5"W x 39"L
