Answer
Hi Scott, First, let me apologize for the delay in responding. A big storm disabled my satellite system over a week ago and it is just now getting back to normal operation. It's been up and down the past couple of days as the repairs were done.
I'm afraid I am not the right person to ask about the reels. I don't have much expertise in reels and their value.
I've done some searching through my reference books and online and have not found much information about the rods either. The older Eagle Claw rods I see are usually pack rods which are popular around here and some four piece fly rods. They are fairly decent fishing rods, and are typically moderately priced at sales.
I assume these rods are all fiberglass models and all casting style rods. If this is not the case, you might let me know and I'll do some more looking. If I am correct in my assumptions, then I doubt there is any significant value involved. Their value is more as a useful fishing rod than a collectible item.
Thanks, Joe
