Eagle claw rod question

JUSTCRAZY · Jul 16, 2009

I have heard a few good things about eagle claw rods, but have never used them. I also haven't been able to find what I am looking for. I have three reels sitting around the house that I want to put rods with, and what I have seen and heard is that eagle claw rods are excellent for flatheading and are cheap.
My ideal rod would be a casting rod that is 7-7.5 FT and one piece, but the shortest I have found so far is 8Ft and it is two piece. So far I have checked Bass Pro, Cabela's, and Catfish connection. Anyone ever seen the size I am after?
Are there any other "cheap" and effective rods out there that come to mind. As it is I have about 12 "flahead" dedicated rods, and just want to get these reels on something so they aren't laying around. That being said I don't need to spend a lot on them. I also don't want to get rid of the reels

I might just take a run over there next week. I haven't been in a while and like the store.

They have the best selection of cat and musky equipment I have seen around the area.

I can’t complain about the Wildcat (or something like that) that I got from Catfish Connection. It’s a 7.5’ Med action. It’s lot nicer that I expected for only $20. Next time this direction you can swing by and try it out for a few trips. You know it isn’t getting used here.

Yep, "I'm pregnant".

That's okay, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Rob, Northeast Outdoors in New Phila has the Eagle Claw Granger Ocean II Rods you can pick them up for about $30 they are 7ft 1pc Med/Hvy They are rated for 30lb and 4oz of lead...I have 3 of them and I LOVE them...You wont find too much better of a rod for $30 thats for sure...Im pretty sure Jim Corey has them at Cripple Creek too, and Maybe Salt Fork outdoors has them Im not sure...

Rob,

I'm not sure if he's still got the info, but NEOCATS (Jeff Arrington) was able to offer folks a great discount through American Premier. I belive the discount was 50% off their rods, which made even the Pro series w/ cork handles around $30.

Thanks for all the insight, and sorry it took me a few days to get back. Went to Michigan for a long weekend to attend a wedding. I will respond to all the PM's ASAP!

Thanks again
Rob
