Fishermen's opinions about Fenwick HMG

My local retailer found a few HMG MH F 7' rods from his distributor. And it's a good thing because I'm currently on my 4th trade in and another titanium guide BROKE. I've used this stick maybe a half dozen times. It broke on day one of a three day trip to the James River in VA.
So on to Number Five. Hopefully the Chinese have figured out how to manufacture a titanium guide that's not as brittle.
Great Warranty

Until now.
The guides on the 2013 HMG's are defective. I've had 3 break on the stems while casting. Thank goodness Fenwick has a great warranty on the HMG's. If it breaks, take it to ANY Fenwick retailer hand it over, get a new one. The problem is....getting a new one because Fenwick was completely OUT OF STOCK IN JUNE!
Spoke with friends that work in local tackle shops, both report breaking guides is a common problem. Spoke with a professional Fenwick sponsored guide, he echos their analysis. Yet when I call Fenwick and finally get a manager on the phone they act like I'm an isolated case.
That's what bothers me the most. That and the fact that I was told that they wouldn't have any rods in stock until AUGUST, meaning I was out if luck this SUMMER! Fenwick makes rods and they didn't have any during fishing season! That's just crazy! That's what we get now that they're made in China!
They tried to make nice only after I pressed the issue. After 41 years of being a customer I expected more.
Perfect Rod

We landed a large 6 pound bass on the GT60MH combined with a Quantum tour pt bait casting reel with 10 lb Triliene Fluro.
The older remaining stock of HMG rods have cork handles and it appears the newer replacement rods have a cork mix with composition materials to make the handle less slick.
Great pole

Sensitive tip and good backbone, perfect for trolling for walleyes.

It feels lighter than other rods at this price point, whether it actually is or not. It also lacks the clumsy feel that is characteristic of other similar rods.
The grip on these rods has held up well so far, and also shows dirt less than other grips. Guides have held up so far.
My only complaint, and it really isn't one, is that the tip isn't as fast as other rods that I own. Still, all things considered I consider this to be a great rod at this price point, and I will buy another in the future.
Cork, cork and cork

I have two Fenwicks sitting in the back of the garage, a Eagle GT and a HMX. The rods are really nice. Light weight, very sensitive and durable EXCEPT for the cork handles. I like the feel when using a cork handle but the two rods I have had the cork break apart. I'm not in the business of rebuilding rods so these 2 rods are dead weight.
Now that I am thinking while writing this I am going to skip with Fenwick and go for another brand.
AWESOME!

I bought this rig for trout and bass and it's the perfect bank fishing outfit, it's so light you can carry it around all day.
The deep red finish on both rod and reel didn't hurt either...it brought out lots of "oohs and ahs" from my fishing buddies.
I have large hands too and find no real issue with the grip. It feels like you would expect on a light weight rod. I wear an XXL golf glove, if that helps.
Ok Rod For The Money
