{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Bass are stupid and will eat anything

I have the eagle claw in the 6'6" 3/4 weight configuration.  It works fine, but I prefer the taper of the fenwick ff706 a bit more.  There are some shorter fenwicks (and plenty of other companies from way back who made excellent glass rods) out there but there's something about that 7' length that is very enjoyable.

Nice SMB, Absolut Blade.

If you can find a 20-25 year old Cabelas Fish Eagle fly rod, the ones they labeled with two line weights, you'd find them suitably slow and forgiving where one can feel the load. At my raffle-won casting lesson with John Bilotta, he had me put his reel with a 7wt on my 5 weight Sage DS so i could better practice double hauls by feeling the rod load. Well, I might just fish a 7 weight line from now on. ;-) I also hear the yellow glass Eagle Claw rods are pretty sweet and dirt cheap to boot. Been thinking about picking one up sometime.
