I have used Eagle Claw rods , yellow or other wise for many years, before that South Bend, I still own some of my first fishing rods, and do use them from time to time. I have refinished and repaired a score of Eagle Claw equipment, with little or no complaints.Because it ain't expensive don't mean it isn't any good. And by the way I am close to 60 and have been fishing ever since I found out that there was such a thing to do! I also did my first experiments in wrapping when I was about 9 or 10 yrs old. I can make a purse from a sows ear, and so can any one else. The lower scale blanks make for cheap experimentation.

Thank You
Larry

For cheap blanks theyare pretty good. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
