Ho, Ho, Ho! I got an early Christmas gift, a FF60! What a sweet rod... I have a question about this particular rod though. A close friend of mine bought it
online and I noticed the top section of the rod is lighter in color than the butt section--quite a bit lighter. I can care less because I am going to fish
this rod until it falls apart, but is the difference because the two sections are different rods?
I have 4 other Fenwicks and they are all consistent when it comes to color. This FF60 is very light brown on the top section and rust red on the bottom. The decals are all intact on the butt section and the top section had original wraps. Measures exactly 6' too.
I suspect this rod has the original case sock and butt section and the top section is a replacement...basically from another rod? The cork is perfect and the sections fit together perfect. Other than the color differences the rod is near perfect.
Like I said, I really don't care. The rod feels great and I am very happy. Just curious about the color difference.
Have a great Christmas everybody!

I can post pictures after the holidays if that will help.
