TECHNIQUE-SPECIFIC RODS FOR ALL CONDITIONS The perfect small boat for your pond or lake.

- All Aluminum Construction The only thing that isn’t high-end about the Eagle Claw EC 2.5 Bass Series rods is the price. A series of technique-specific bass rods with lengths, powers and actions are precision-engineered to give bass anglers of any skill level the upper hand.

Available in both spinning and casting models (including a glass crankbait model) that run the gamut of bass fishing techniques from light-line finesse tactics to pitching into the thick stuff with heavy braid.

Eagle Claw 2.5 Bass Rods are built on high-performance, lightweight graphite blanks. Split grip EVA handles and tangle-free stainless-steel guides round out the performance features, allowing anglers the sensitivity to feel everything without sacrificing strength, durability or functionality. This series of rods from Eagle Claw redefines the level of performance a bass rod at this value can offer.

Cover image from angler, photographer Mac (Macala) Elliott is a budding professional photographer and freelance media producer living in Houston. She grew up fishing the Texas coast and has a passion for wildlife, especially fly-fishing.

Her first coastal fishing images that became popular were of redfish.

“I was hooked, so they say,” Elliott said. “I get to combine my love of photography and my love of fishing.”

When this photo of a speckled trout was taken, she was wade-fishing the Laguna Madre with her family.

“On the day of the photo, I managed to soak my waders,” Elliott said. “It was so cold — but I was getting good shots, so I kept on going.”

Underwater grass is shown in the image, and Elliott said some photographers have questioned why she didn’t edit it out.

“I like showing what the real story is,” she said. “Plus, the grass is so important to where the fish are living.”

Elliott also has embarked on a new fly-fishing media project, “Twin Fly Productions,” alongside her twin brother, and plans to continue her photography passion (her images may be viewed at her site, macelliottmedia.com).

“I’m taking it day by day,” the 2020 University of Houston graduate said. “I grew up fishing, so it seems like a good fit.”
