For on an eagle claw, pack-it, spin/fly rod.
Here is a good reel that works well for a travel rod made by Pflueger. Other companies have similar models as well. It is neither a spinning reel, baitcaster or fly reel, rather a closed-face spinning reel called an underspin reel.

As warmer weather is soon upon us, we begin to think of those backcountry excursions that will take us away from the hustle and bustle of civilization and take us to more remote places to get in tune with nature and enjoy a little solitude. A day-hike into the backcountry is a very affordable vacation option gauranteed to be remembered for life. Make sure to bring the camera!
Getting off the beaten path can offer some dramatic landscapes.
Two of your most useful tools for finding places like this, are your legs. Many times, even in places frequented by crowds of people, you can find a little corner of the outdoors for yourself if you’re willing to put a little time in on foot. Generally speaking, the farther you’re willing to walk, the more alone you’ll be.
Lots of elbow room.
Hiking in to a remote lake or section of stream can have many more rewards than just catching fish. Obviously, the less fishing pressure any body of water gets, the better the fishing should be. But hiking to some back-country places offers great exercise, a good opportunity to view some wildlife, and almost always picturesque views of nature at its finest.
Studying a map of the area you visit can reveal some hidden secrets. There was no trail to this small alpine lake.
This type of fishing can be as simple or as complicated as you’d like to make it. I figure I’m about in the middle of the road. I will be using a simple rod and reel set-up but will be taking a pretty good assortment of flies. As far as my fishing gear goes, I think I came in at less than $100 for the whole outfit.
