The Eagle Claw Featherlight fly rod is a budget fly rod. I think I got mine for like $30 bucks. It's bright yellow, and made for small-water fishing. Even a little trout or sunfish feels like a giant with this rod.

Bear in mind that fiberglass fly rods from the high-end manufacturers (Orvis, Scott, Epic, etc) cost between $250 and $500. This little Eagle Claw is perfect for throwing a little bug for sunfish or dry flies in southern Appalachian mountain streams for brook trout.

It's also so cheap that you happily hand it over to a beginner or child who wants to try casting a fly rod.
