Fiberglass!

Well, my Eagle Claw Featherlight arrived today in all its yellow goodness. Can't wait to try it out - hopefully this weekend! Also found a tuna can reel (Martin 61) to go with it, just need to find the time to pick it up.

Pictures to follow once I have the reel.

Tried her out this weekend. Didn't manage to connect with anything, but so nice to cast. Fits like a glove. Casts biggish flies like a rocket with a WF7 line.

Also found a Shakespeare Beaulite reel that matches nicely. Simple click-pawl reel, can't wait to hear it sing. Let me clean it up and pics will be posted.

All in all, it's a new rod/reel combo for the grand total of $55. Great deal for someone looking to get into the sport. In fact, a 7ft version of this rod is up on Kijiji right now....

Very nice, I just ordered my 8' 5-6 weight, got it for a steal online $26.73 shipped to my door, cant wait to try it out. I have never fished glass so very excited to learn and try this out ( I have a Okuma SLV 5-6 kicking around I think I will use on this rod ).
