Rare, Fenwick Voyager 4 pc, 6 weight, 7 foot, fiberglass fly / spin rod

I found my long lost Fenwick Voyager fly / spin rod misplaced in a desk drawer yesterday. I had not seen nor fished this rod in more than a decade. It is a four piece, 6 wt, 7 foot fiberglass rod. I took it out to the lake in Prospect Park to see how it would cast the Orvis fly line I picked up this fall.  It worked well. Maybe the "overlining" of the 6 wt rod with an 8 wt fly line contributed to my successful testing.

I made a number of different casts, Belgium, roll, back, snap T, snake, and I even poked it a few times!

The rod handled the fly line almost as well as my old Orvis Full Flex fiberglass fly rod which is foot longer than the Voyager.
