由 Vinnie Carroll The Fenwick HMG Graphite T90 MH-2 7’0″ is a high-performance spinning or casting rod designed for medium-heavy power applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key specs and ideal uses:
Specifications:
– Model: HMG Graphite T90 MH-2
– Length: 7 feet (2.13 meters)
– Power: Medium-Heavy (MH)
– Action: Fast (likely, given the “2” designation, which often indicates a fast taper)
– Lure Weight: 1/4 – 1 1/4 oz (7–35g)
– Line Weight: 10–20 lb (mono/fluoro) or 20–30 lb braid
– Pieces: Likely 2-piece (common in Fenwick rods)
– Material: High-Modulus Graphite (lightweight, sensitive, and strong)
Best Uses:
– Techniques: Versatile for single-hook and treble-hook lures in the 1/4–1 1/4 oz range.
– Freshwater: Great for bass (jigs, Texas rigs, spinnerbaits, swimbaits), walleye, pike, and heavier inshore applications.
– Inshore Saltwater: Can handle redfish, snook, or smaller stripers when paired with braid.
– Casting Distance: The 7′ length aids in longer casts with mid-weight lures.
Why Choose This Rod?
– Sensitivity: Graphite construction transmits vibrations well for detecting subtle bites.
– Durability: Fenwick’s HMG series balances strength and weight.
– Versatility: Covers a wide lure range, making it a good all-around rod for power techniques.
Recommended Pairings:
– Reel: 2500–3000 size spinning reel or a 6:1–7:1 baitcaster.
– Line: 15–20 lb braid with a fluoro leader for finesse, or straight 12–17 lb fluoro for casting.
If you’re targeting bass with jigs, Texas rigs, or larger crankbaits, this rod is a solid choice. For lighter finesse work (e.g., drop shots), a lighter power rod may be better.
