Title: Cool Old Eagle Claw Rod
Post by: slosh on March 18, 2026, 07:29:59 PM
Found this rod for $10 at a junk shop. Was hoping it'd be $5 but I was still a player at $10. I had this old Zebco Omega 171 UL spincast reel that needed a home, and I don't think there's a better rod to match it in the whole world. Rod is 4.5ft UL action.

Lots of fun catching big bluegill on this thing, and I eagerly anticipate the first largemouth that is craving crickets.

Been an Eagle Claw fan for awhile.  Looks like you're in for some fun!
