Title: looking for help finding a missing fishing rod part
Post by: 71Shovelhead on November 16, 2019, 10:14:30 AM: I know this is a long shot but said I would try. I want to replace a broken section of an
Eagle Claw 7 1/2 foot Spin Fly Combo rod No 601 .

I specifically need/want the third section of the four piece rod.

This rod has Sentimental value to someone very close to me. (otherwise I would just buy a new one for 30.00 bucks or so)

Hoping someone has a similar one for parts.

Thanks for looking
Terry

The one I have is sort of an antique. Comes in a metal container for backpacking. I'll look for it later and send a picture. What county are you in?

Called Eagle claw customer service and asked if I could buy a replacement piece
They took my info and a week later a whole new rod showed up
No charge

Then I retipped the old one and ended up with 2 great pack rods

I sent them an e mail and never heard back from them so I didn't peruse it. Guess I will give them a call.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I won one for a pic my grandpa submitted to Montana Fishing and Hunting News back in 76ish? and I promptly broke it a few years later. After reporting my mishap to Eagle Claw, they sent me a brand new pole and case which I still have and have really never used ;). Wondering how old yours is and if it in fact falls under the old lifetime warranty (not sure how long they had that but I assume perhaps into the 80s?).
