I believe the eagle claw featherlight was 1st released in 86. I still have one of the 1st ones then a couple more old ones, then about 8 of the new ones. I love using them. they are bulletproof if the drag is set. I've caught everything from creek minnows to lake Erie walleye and big sheepshead on them.I like when these "old" threads get a second wind and this is a good one.
I have one of the vintage eagle claw feather-lite spin rods I still use on the rare occasion I put the flyrod down. It was my dad's and one of the first spinners I can remember using. I'm not sure when production started but it must be over 50 yrs old ? ?

Not fishing related but I also love to use my dad's old L.C.Smith 20 ga on special occasions.
Take care and enjoy the vintage equipment.
Good luck and good fishing
Nice! My buddy has a Remington Model 1896, 12Ga. SxS that was built in 1903. Damascus steel barrels, and the thing is a work of art! The fit and finish are incredible. Even at 117 years old, you open that gun and there is zero wobble to those barrels! He has to buy special low power shells to keep from blowing them up, but they still whack the crap out of pheasants!Now the real thing. A Krieghoff model 32 28 in. 4 Barrel set 12/20/28 and 410 for skeet made in 1964. with extra barrels in,32 in 12 with money maker rib for trap singles and doubles, 30 in Baker barrel for sporting clays.

I've gone out to the trap shoots at my club a few times, usually just to warm up for pheasant season. See some mighty nice hardware out there, but no Krieghoffs or Perazzis. At least as far as I can tell. Some of those guys get mighty nervous if you get too close to their guns!Perazzi owners call Krieghoff"sas fence post at 8 lb 7 oz. I say Lets shoot. Bruce
