Wright & McGill: Wright & McGill rods and Wright and McGill Reels are also quite popular. This company was established in the 1920’s and Wright and McGill were amongst the first in the world to change the original design of the fish hook. The company began in Colorado in the late 1920’s as a company for high quality fly tying and production. Wright & McGill advanced the fishing hook by giving it more penetrating power. Modeled after an eagles claw, the Eagle Claw hook design is now used widely in many fishing and tackle applications. As a result the still existing company of Wright and McGill remains to be one of the more popular producers of fishing lures, rods, reels and equipment in the market today. Many collectors still seek out Wright and McGill fly Rods and Wright & McGill reels because of their extensive history in the business.
