This rod was designed to be forgiving, caster friendly, and hugely versatile on the water. Fenwick succeeded in creating a rod with performance way above its price range. This rod is accurate at any distance out to 60 feet and one of our favorite trout rods on the market regardless of price. If you’re in the market for a new freshwater fly rod that caters to a wide range of angler ability and works well in any fishing scenario, consider the AETOS.

Have a Fenwick from the 70s ..6'6 with 3\4 ...its still my favorite rod for trout fishing in maine ..I have to say what I paid back then is a lot for my Fenwick nd orvis stuff ..goad to see the new stuff being reasonable and starter rods are amazing now
Question...if the blank is the same as the GR60..and the Aetos has an extra coat....how is it softer? Thanks!
Hey, I was wondering if you guys had any experience with the beulah guide ll?
This rod does use a little heavier tip top guide than the one on the GR60, perhaps that’s why the tip on the Aetos seems to have more flex at the tip. This effect is even more noticeable on the 8 1/2 ft 4 wt Aetos, which I also have. So, to compensate, I like going with a lighter line, like a Trout taper or a triangular taper. That way, it won’t seem overloaded at close to medium distances. This is a great rod series for the money, but interesting that Fenwick no longer shows the 905 or 864 models on their web site - only the shorter rods and the longer nymphing models of the Aetos. What’s with that?
I'm so tempted to try an Aetos.
You should!
@@Tridentflyfishing Bought the Scott Flex 9' 5wt.
Don't be tempted, just do it. The only reason not to buy this is you may get rid of your other rods, because this will replace them as your favorite. I have many rods, from low end Redington to the Aetos to Loomis GLX and Sage Z Axis, and the Aetos is one of my favorite fishing rods. If I'm fishing out of a drift boat and the rod may get banged up, I don't take the upper end rods, I take the Aetos. I use the Aetos out of my pontoon boat, too. Now that I'm writing this, why the heck do I have those expensive rods?
@@scottstubbs9913 now that you've had your Flex for awhile how has it been performing for you on the water , Scott?
Im looking for a 4 or 5 wt thats 10ft or longer, for fishing the local creek were i live,its not a big creek at all...maybe 10 feet across at its biggest spots...any rod suggestions?

Very nice , can you do a review in Fenwick HMG rod?
They haven't arrived yet, but we'll make a note of it
Please do a review on the new Hardy Shadow. I love the burgundy color of the Hardy shadow but I'm very curious how it performs compared to the Aetos and Echo Trout.
Jimmy, not to steal thunder from Trident, but if you're looking for a discussion about the Hardy and the Aetos, check out Yellowstone Angler's reviews. I believe the Hardy Shadow was picked as their best mid-value and the Fenwick Aetos the best budget rod.
How would this rod compare to the TFO Pro2?
I've got both, and the Aetos is superior in all aspects.
Just under-line it if it's too slow...
The availability of this rod is terrible. Out of stock, Out of stock and yet more Out of stock.
That’s Fenwick for ya, but if you can get your hands on one, they’re the best rods in their price range.
Check cabelas or bass pro shops. I saw few at my local cabelas last weekend
Similar to ammo shortages. Haven't seen factory .243 Winchester cartridges for quite some time now. Inflation rate at an all time high, goods availability continuely going down & wages staying stagnant. If you haven't already, learn to fish & hunt WELL. You and your families survival may depend on it the direction this country is going.
