Since 1925, we’ve built tackle with one goal in mind: help anglers catch fish. That goal hasn’t changed. We’ve been proudly serving anglers for 100 years, making gear that does its job so you can focus on what really matters: your time on the water.
A fish hook is more than a piece of wire with a point on one end and an eye on the other. It’s the connection between you and the fish, but also between friends, families, and stories shared on the water. Whether you're sitting in lawn chairs catching trout or competing at the highest level, that connection matters.
Since 1925, the men and women of Eagle Claw in Denver, Colorado have been proud to be part of that.
The company’s roots go back to a moment of inspiration when Drew McGill saw an eagle’s talon and reimagined what a hook could be. That belief still runs deep.
Today, Eagle Claw hooks are built on nearly a century of experience, blending trusted design with modern innovation. They're not just about landing fish. They're about time on the water, shared traditions, and the stories that come with them.
Eagle Claw continues to grow and serve new markets with quality, innovative products via six notable brands: Wright & Mcgill, Eagle Claw, Lazer Sharp, Shappell, Trokar and Jet Sled. Each brand serves a segment of anglers with tailored feature sets for different needs–meaning no matter where you are in your angler journey, there is an Eagle Claw product ready to serve.
At the heart of our Pro Staff are passionate anglers, each striving to be their best on the water. We support a wide range of anglers across fresh and saltwater, targeting everything from bass and crappie to tuna and tarpon. While each member brings something different, they all share one thing: a deep trust in the hooks they rely on.
