The Eagle Claw family of brands is one of the most recognized in all of fishing. The only hook brand manufactured in the United States.
Eagle Claw have been manufacturing and supplying fishing tackle from their Denver factory for over 90 years. Created by Drew McGill and Stan Wright back in the 1920’s, the original Wright & McGill Co, Denver was known for tying high-grade fishing flies in Denver, Colorado. Over 90 years later Wright & McGill is still creating high-grade fishing equipment, and the product selection has expanded qui
te a bit. Today, the Wright & McGill brand includes classic brands known the world over including Eagle Claw, Lazer Sharp, Trokar, Wright & McGill and more recently the ice fishing brand Shappell, but for the humble beginnings of the iconic Eagle Claw name, we need to go back over 90 years. On a slow fishing day in the 1920’s, Drew McGill encountered a bird of prey that caused him to rethink the shape of the common fishhook. Now over 90 years later, Eagle Claw continues to carry on a legacy of integrity, honesty, and American heritage. As the last hook in the world to be manufactured in the United States, Eagle Claw offers an extremely price competitive product without compromising quality or attention to detail. From its humble beginnings, Eagle Claw has grown into one of the most widely recognised brands in the fishing industry. Today Eagle Claw provides anglers with numerous choices of hooks and terminal tackle for an array of species, spanning both fresh and saltwater fishing. LAZER SHARP
As a premium brand of Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle Co., Lazer Sharp has carried on the legacy of quality and attention to detail while also establishing an exceptional reputation of its own. Lazer Sharp hooks are the only American-made needlepoint hooks in the world, creating the standard for all other needlepoint hooks to be judged. Aside from their superior hooks, Lazer Sharp is proud to offer an array of top-notch terminal tackle, superior accessories, and one of the industry’s largest selections of pre-tied rigs. TROKAR
Some products can fall into a cycle of monotony, remaining virtually unchanged for years. Why fix something that’s not broken? At Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle Co., we don’t have that mentality. We developed a fishing hook that is far superior to anything else that has ever been created: Trokar. Our engineers designed a new definition of sharpness, a hook with a geometric triangular point to pe*****te faster and easier. They honed all three edges to surgical sharpness, resulting in a hook that pe*****tes twice as fast and dramatically improves strike-to-hook-up ratios. Once the sharpness was dialled in, we called in our team of pro-fisherman to put these hooks to the test. With their input we made the Trokar hook even more superior. We used higher carbon, cold forged steel and a bolstered shank design for added strength during aggressive hook-sets. Then we put the steel through a unique heat treating process that adds impact resistance and just the right amount of flex to resist breaking when fighting to get your fish in the boat. The result: The most extraordinary fishhook ever made.
