Vintage Rod Question

[PstMacteeer]

In younger years I was given an Eagle Claw Wright & McGill fishing rod. I recently ran across it in my basement and am wondering what I exactly have, Was it a good rod? Bass Rod? The markings say: Favorite 6 1/2, Worm Rod, BFlex.

It was never used and It's time for it to see water. What present day reel would be well matched for it?

Thank you.

That thing's cool looking. Know nothing about it besides that....

Looks like it's designed for a spinning reel?

What do the eyes look like. Bait casting style or snake guides. That should answer all your questions. It's probably just a spinning rod. I've probably had that same rod in my younger years.

Looks like it's made with drift fishing in mind (worms, etc.), particularly in small water. Neat rod, whatever it is.

Put an older Mitchell 300 on it, spool with 12# mono, and rig your rubber worms texas style.

Two votes for the Mitchell 300. A Zebco Cardinal 4 is another good option. Eagle Claw were simple utilitarian rods but being older it needs a match of the same vintage. You'll get a lot of compliments with that old school kit.

That things a trip, I'd go 30 power pro green & throw that worm in the weeds. The Mitchell 300 is a solid suggestion
