Has anyone had any experience with ONG rods? Never seen or used either. Someguy may know about them, except I think he is quite busy at the moment up in GF |

I'm on CatfishConnection right now looking at some Eagle Claw rods... Would the eglass used in the CatClaw make it more stiff thru the tip than the WaterClaw?
Plus it has a trigger...which im a little partial to when casting with wet, slimy hands.

I know a guy has a brand new ONG that he would love to sell. It is only 8' I think he has like $40 into it. It is a bit stiff for circle hooks but for setting would be great.
I use Eagle Claw Water Eagle for circle hooks.
I have a handful of rods you may be interested in.

Thanks man. I'll let you know. I'm an Ugly Stik guy. Might be looking for an 8' casting. I love my 7', but I think an 8' would make a world of difference with the 20+ cats.
My 7' did handle the 20# I caught this weekend just fine, though...so maybe I'm over thinking it. Which I probably am.

They are a bit stiffer than what I prefer but a solid rod for not a bunch of money. |

I really did like the action of Deuce's 2 Water Eagles. Seems like they might be a better 'from the boat rod' while the Ugly Stik, or something stiffer would be a better 'from the shore rod'? The stiffer rod keeps the rod tip higher, helping keep the fish out of the garbage. It at least appeared that way.

I have a brand new Shimano Telora MH 8'6" I would sell for $70. Still has the tags on it |

Thanks man, I'll keep that in mind. I think my dad may have one of those.
