I rigged up my 5 1/2' Eagle Claw Featherlight glass rod and did some sunnies this evening. Eagle Claw still makes that rod and now it has a more modern handle and Bass Pro has a knockoff that is almost identical to the older model I have that they call Micro Lite Glass. Once the gills get to 6" and more they give that rod a very nice bend. Really fun to fight panfish with and the sensitivity isn't too bad either. The 5 1/2 footer handled 2# GAMMA with a 1/64 oz jig head just fine.
Good to hear this report. I've been looking at some Featherlights but didn't know enough about them to get one. Nothing like fiberglass!
Fishfishwish,
First try at a post. Here's one of those Quick Microlite's. Have no idea on how to size the pics.

Stan,
Gamelands lake on a 300 acre section recently sold for a industrial park. Gills on micro crankbaits and the pumpkinseed on a 2 1/2" plastic trout worm tail hooked w/#7splitshot about a foot up and crawled slowly on bottom. Caught a half dozen about that size in 2 trips that way in the same area of lake. Pumpkinseeds really like a worm.
Cork is in very good shape for a rod that old.
Very nice, and DB4D is right that the cork looks great.
