I have two Eagle Claw Salmon/Steelhead casting rods for sale. The Extra Heavy rod has one missing guide ring (see photos).
Rod#1 with missing guide ring: GRX5286XH Length: 8'6", Line Wt 20-40lb, Lure Wt 1/2oz-1-1/2oz, approximate weight: 9.3oz
Rod#2: GRX5286H Length: 8'6", Line Wt 12-25lb, Lure Wt 1/2oz-1-1/2oz, approximate weight: 8.6oz
I always rinse my rods/reels after using them.
The cork handles on these rods were clear-coated.
The Eagle Claw Granger X series of rods are
designed by professional guides as specialty rods for salmon/steelhead
fishing.
These 8 1/2' rods have an
unbelievable 10 SIC guides plus tip. The quality of the workmanship on
the Granger X rod series is evident from the high quality, durable epoxy
coating on the guide wraps and information area.
The rod handle has a
graphite reel seat with a stainless steel hood and a 12" cork
handle with a 2 3/4" species cork fore grip.
The design and placement of
the ferrule is such that there is virtually no "flat spot" commonly
associated with a 2 piece rod.
This
rod is the model with upgraded cosmetics. The IM7 rod blank is a
beautiful brown satin sheen. The guide wraps are dark brown with silver
accents. The handle end cap is metal and rubber.
The handle wrapping is
silver and dark brown and has a silver winding check. These cosmetic
upgrades make this rod one of the most attractive salmon/steelhead rods
available in any price range.
In addition to all the
high
quality features the rod comes with an attractive cloth carrying case
that lists the rod model and specifics.
