Isn't great when things work out?

Last May, my kids wanted to buy me a Fly Rod and Reel for my birthday...they are not even teens yet so had no idea of the possible cost involved so my wife let me know what they were up to and confessed to being ignorant of the subject as well.

Anyhow, at this time I wanted to try a small creek 3 wt and ordered a 7' 3 wt Eagle Claw Granger IM7 2 pc. rod and a Martin Brook reel...both pieces came in at about $70.00 and I cannot stress enough how nice this outfit is.

troulet carries both pieces and I'll probabaly order another rod as a backup sometime soon...the rod is a keeper as is the reel and to think they were had a bargain.
