FISHING ROD ID.

Anyone know what these are? The only writings are guaranteed quality made in the USA. Really stiff rod.

Aside from the brand i'd say it looks like a saltwater trolling type rod, or maybe bottomfish rod probably from the 70's, but i think they still make the trademark "yellow" fiberglass rods. Probably still usable but not a top option these dys.

I have three Wright McGill Salt Chuckers 7 1/2 footers with Penn 209s on them and two Surf Drift Casters 9 1/2 footers.
My Dad bought these in the early 70s and the still fish well.

Do they have any manufacture labeling on them? The ones I have nothing other than a sticker saying guaranteed quality made in the USA sticker.

It does look like a Wright McGuill Eagle Claw rod.  They had a metal tag glued to the cork grip, but they would fall off after some use.  Above the cork there should be black cursive writing with the brand, length, and model of the rod.  I love old Eagle Claw rods.  Especially the old Trailmaster 4 pc pack rods in aluminum case.  They are tough rods, which hold up when my kids borrow them!   :tup:

Is there an oval dark stain on the upper cork grip?  Usually when the metal tag comes loose, it leaves a glue mark.

I love my Eagle Claw trolling rods, and I can buy five for every Lamiglass someone else has.....   :rolleyes:

I have been useing both the Salt Chuckers and the Surf Caster (actual names) as salmon trolling rods for over 30 years. I have Shimanos, Lamiglass, and a G Loomis G3.
Fish can't tell the difference. If you are fishing with kids the Wright McGill's are perfect.
