- I`ve been wanting to try one of these out for awhile now.
Finally got one and I must say it`s a really cool rod!
Fiberglass construction, 6 ft 6in 2 piece rod with medium moderate slow
action.
Basically it`s a big yellow floppy noodle but that`s not a bad thing, it`s actually a good thing i think. It allows the rod to really load up on casting light lures.
Super fun rod to fish with and for $24.99 it`s s great deal. It handled medium sized bass and pickerel like a champ.
Good rod to have around for backup or a tagalong rod-less friend.
Sofar I`m really impressed with it. Time will tell though.
Love all featherlite rods by Eagle claw been using them for years!Thank you fot the nice video!Tight Lines to ya!!!
The last time I owned an Eagle Claw rod was about 2001. I lived in Denver where the Eagle Claw HQ was located so Eagle Claw stuff was really cheap there. I had two 5'5" rods for trout fishing.
Now my shortest rod that I have is seven foot and there are no trout anywhere around where I live I mostly catch catfish
I'd love to hook a big catfish on that rod. That flexy blank would bend over double lol
With Rapala's or crankbaits, I remove the front treble hook and replace the rear treble hook with a siwash hook from Gamakatsu. It hasn't seemed to hurt my hookup ratio much. (Or if it has, I haven't noticed.)
I recognize doing this isn't for everyone, but I've been hooked a few times with trebles and don't want it to happen again.
Something to consider if you don't like treble hooks.
Great idea! I have split ring pliers so I think it would be easy enough. Thanks for the tip!
I have been looking at Rosewood ultralight spinning rod, they have a switchy action like the Eagle claw.
My buddy has 2 of those and he really likes them
@@DrDitchpickle do u know what length He has?
I think they are 7ft or maybe 6ft 8
Wadup! Enjoyed the review. You broke that rode in pretty swell.
Thanks! It's a cool rod! Feels like something from the 70s all floppy but it loads up nicely and is super tough.
Saw a video where a guy lifted a 30 pound barbell with one and it didn't break
haha insane!! thanks again
@@DrDitchpickle
Cool
Where did you find it and you should also try the powerlight if you can find one.
I found this one at Frank's outdoors website

Is this the kokanee model?
No i don't think it is. Just the standard issue version as far as I can tell
@@DrDitchpickle Can't find the bait casting equivalent.

I still own a 4 1/2 ft, 1 piece Eagle Claw Ultra Featherlight that I bought around 1981. I put a 40 yr old Shimano MLZ10 ultralight reel on it and used it this spring...caught a 27" rockfish (striper) on it: KAYAK ROCKFISHING WITH 4 1/2 FT ULTRA FEATHER LIGHT ROD!! MUST SEE!! czcams.com/video/Yp2DkapUXHg/video.html
Right on bro!
Featherlight is garbage, way too weak of a shaft. Wobbly tip sucks.
