After the kids and I recieved our eagle claw telescopic fishing rod we took it out of the package and played with it.. We really think dad is going to love it for christmas. Went to Cabelas (onsite store) and discovered that they carried the eagle claw brand so we were really happy with that. Ya ya ya.. well while were were there DH noticed these tiny icefishing rods and said he wouldnt mind one of those for taking on the 4whlr... the kids and I just looked at each other and ducted out heads and smiled.. hehehehe...
