Hey Tim,
That is a good older rod. Good luck getting started in fly fishing. You can contact our Factory Warranty center at 720-941-8723. Ask about the part you are looking for. Some of the older ones are hard to find but we have other options if you are interested in upgrading to a new model.

Sir, I recently took up fly fishing (trying), my father brought out a Dave Cook “Trail Rod” NO DC 100.A 71/2 ft Spin/Fly by Wright McGill with CO 84 under the eagle emblem. Trying to find info on it and how to replace a missing handle end cap.

Also rod has a Wright McGill auto wind reel with only identification marking being “ECD”.

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Tim

I have an 8ft. #8 Eagle Claw model SFFP224 fly rod with a ? Denco or Danco ? reel (it came with the rod), the rod is Yellow/Gold with dk blue wraps with gold cord around the eyes with a cork handle and dk blue aluminum reel tube. the emblem has an eagle drawn on the rod with B.O.E. under it. I have re-strung it and it casts like a charm. I plan to use it for steelhead and salmon. I bought it in the early 80’s and it still looks like new, except the reel, it is a bit worn.

I am looking to figure out where or how I could replace the tip of my Dad’s fly rod. It broke on our last fishing trip and I would like to replace it for his birthday. The tip was lost in the river. I’ve been looking online to find the rod but haven’t been able to find anything. The label at the butt is:

Eagle Claw “Fishin’ Hole” tm
no. FH300 – 8 1/2 (259c.in) fly rod
by Wright and McGill Co.
line size 6-7

The Trailmaster rods are some of the best rods we have sold over the years. The model you have has a high fiberglass content so it should be very durable. As for price, it is very hard to say because so much is based on the condition of the rod itself. The best judge would be to check online selling sites and see what is available in similar style and condition as yours.

Marshal – With the info you provided I am not quite sure. Send in a photo to info@eagleclaw.com and our repair tech can take a look and give you some more feedback. If it has metal connectors for the 4 pieces is is probably an older glass rod from around the 50’s or 60’s. We made some other darker graphite rods up until about 2005. THe photo will help us know more.

Chris,
I just inherited a Wright & McGill “Trailmaster” 6 1/2 ft No 4TMS rod from my father. It is a darker brown rod with the Eagle emblem on it. Underneath the Eagle it looks to have the letter D. I was wondering if you could make some suggestions to find info on this rod.
Thanks,
Marshall
