Fenwick's Aetos has been a longtime favorite for years, and with their newest iteration, Fenwick has refined the build to make it better than ever. Maintaining their proprietary Nano Composite blank technology, the new Aetos offers the same lightweight, durable, and responsive feel as the original, but the newest design brings an updated action that increases damping and accuracy. Fenwick also incorporates a quality anodized aluminum reel seat and AAA-grade cork to provide long-lasting durability that can stand up to years of tough use. Crafted in line weights 3 through 8 across lengths ranging from 7' to 10', the Aetos family has all of the versatility that you need whether you're chasing small brookies on your home water with your favorite dry fly pattern or drifting nymphs to fresh chromed-out steel along the Lake Ontario tribs.

Blank

Nano Composite Blank - Utilizing their proprietary Nano Composite, Fenwick has made their new Aetos series lighter, stronger, and with higher performance than your standard carbon blank. The Aetos has a fast action that can accurately throw bulky flies while standing up to those unexpectedly windy days.

Finish

A slate blue finish with contrasting thread wraps adds a clean appearance to this rod, and with the durability that the Fenwick brand is known for, this is a rod that you'll be admiring for seasons to come.

Guides

Single-Foot Stripping Guides - A choice that helps keep things lightweight while also providing friction-free casting, Fenwick uses single-foot stripping guides on the Aetos.

Reel Seat

Up-locking Aluminum Reel Seat - Lightweight, durable, and sure to keep things locked in, the Aetos features an up-locking aluminum reel seat. Anodized Aluminum is a great choice for long-term use and the rubber cork spacers keep things nice and smooth.

Rod Tube

An included rod sock and tough rod tube give your Aetos the perfect place to rest in between uses. Whether you're traveling around the globe or just down the road, the tube and sock keep your investment safe and protected.

Warranty

As of August 2024, Fenwick offers their five-year limited warranty on the Aetos family of rods.
