Fenwick is a brand name of Pure Fishing.
Fenwick is named after Lake Fenwick in Kent, Washington where 5 Seattle businessmen founded the company in 1952. Fenwick was an early pioneer in the use of fiberglass blanks [1] to create fishing rods that were corrosive resistant to salt water and that quickly replaced metal and traditional wood [2] and bamboo fishing rods for their durability and ease of maintenance.
Fenwick was purchased by Phil Clock [3] and moved to Westminster, California in 1968 and focused on the fishing rod needs of Bass fisherman. [4]
Fenwick was the first to market with an all graphite fishing rod in 1973. [5]
Both Fenwick's fiberglass and graphite fishing rods led fisherman to innovate new ways to fish using the unique material properties of Fenwick fishing rods.
