Fenwick Poles

I have a couple of Fenwick Ulua poles that were passed down from my grandparents. The Fenwick Uluas poles I have are all homemade. Fishing is a very important part of my family because it's what my parents and their parents and so on and so on were doing when they were younger. They always kept it under the house ‘till the day somebody comes up and wants to use it. When I was born and my parents found out that I like fishing, they started telling me about the Fenwick Ulua poles that my grandparents had under their house. The more I got, the more I was getting into Ulua fishing. I wanted the Fenwick Ulua poles and I told my grandparents and my parents that I want them. The Ulua poles that I got from them are the Fenwick Ulua poles I told my dad to take the good one and get it repaired, but the rest I want to keep it how it is because to make sure I remember the hard work my grandparents put up with to make the Fenwick Ulua poles that I now own. I have in total five Fenwick  poles to fish and own to keep up with the family’s tradition.
