Eagle Claw Trailmaster III
I broke mine. I was fishing the Truckee River in Reno and it was getting quite windy when my line got tangled around the rod tip. I bent the rod down to untangle it and the last section of the rod snapped. I think the five piece design is a little stiffer than the four piece rods. Wish I could find a replacement end though, it is a nice pack rod.

Trailmaster III
Cannot help comparing Trailmaster II to Trailmaster III. What happen to that little piece of metal above the cork handle that use to hold my fly or hook safely when I bushwhacked? What happened to the double bracketed line eyelets? On the other hand, T III has an improved tightening mechanism for securing reel to rod. I have just recently purchased by third Trailmaster in 37 years of backpacking and fishing I go for durability. T I and T II were trusted friends. Hopefully the redesign of the T III rod was not cost cutting. I seriously doubt that this rod with its limited reinforcement around the line guides will get the durability award and be ready when the hungry backpacker casts. I would pay more to keep the best features of the Eagle Claw Trailmaster series.

Eagle Claw Trailmaster III
I wanted this for backpacking and spin or fly. Bought 3 of them (I have 2 boys), and have not fished it yet. I am writing the review because I think the threads on the handle (for reversing spin to fly) are too tight. I ended up twisting the cork and may need to return this rod if it looks like I cannot fix it. Other than that it seems like a very nice rod.

Eagle Claw Pack Rod
This is a good combination rod for fly or spin fishing. Its compact case allows for compact storage when backpacking which is what I use it for. It is stiffer than my old Eagle claw pack rod which I bought in the 1970's. I would like to see more flexibility in the tip, but it is a sound all around rod at a good price from Troutlet.
