I had one some years ago. Like the others have said it's not a high end rod feel by any means, but for $20 I'd say to grab it. How can you go wrong for that price.

Out of curiosity, Do you make glass fly rods? If so what would one be looking at price wise? PM me if you do not want to post here. 8'6-9' foot 5 weight moderate action would be what I am looking for.

Thanks for all the replies so far everyone. The one i was looking at is a 5 weight 8'6" .

I fished one years ago. All I can tell you on that is that glass has come a long way since then and maybe, hopefully, the Eagle Claw has also. Back then it was a club with no redeeming features. Yes, it could case a line, mainly since I was a lot better caster back then, but the whole flexed without any real power area. Soft with no good tip or mid buildup of power. I much preferred the Shakespeare Wonderods back in that era since they had more backbone than the Featherlights. I'm sure their product is far better today but I'd sure like to cast one first.

 

ps...If you really want to punish yourself trying to fly fish just get an old combo fly/spin pack rod from them. An experience you'd like to forget.

Cheers, saw one for 20.00, thought it might be a interesting addition to my rod collection.

I fish for brook, rainbow, browns and steelies . Brookies and rainbow being top choices , also enjoy fishing ultralight gear for bass. I live in Stoney Creek Ontario, As far as other hobbies fishing takes up most of my free time. I have 3 very young sons, One 3yr old and a set of 15 month old twin boys!!! Yeah I know kind of old for young children ( I am 45yrs young ) but my career made it difficult earlier in life ( lots of travelling). So as you could guess they take up a lot of time ( but all good times ).

I fish from shore and in the water . I am strictly a catch and release guy.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes, looking forward to spending a lot of quality time here.
