    So I have been trying to find a couple of the cheap eagle claw rods for last couple months. I have checked a couple walmarts, bremerton and UP-Tacoma no luck.

    Does anyone know where to find them locally? Ive heard Dicks might have them.

    I asked a local shop to special order them. Most shops are happy for the business.

    I think Sportco used to carry them.

    This. I just bought one at the Kennewick store (Well, it's Wholesale Sports, are they all that now?) last week. They had a stash of the 6'6" 4/5wt rods.

    At any given time, there's at least a dozen new and old Eagle Claw Featherlight fly rods up for sale/bidding on Ebay. I just picked up a mid-1980's vintage 7ft Featherlight for just $20 shipped a couple days ago.

    The online auction site or Amazon will have the Feather Light and the 4pc travel rod for less than $35
