McFarland Rod Company – Perpetual 8’3″ 4wt Fiberglass Fly Rod

Introduction

Perpetual: Neverending; continuing or enduring forever

Perpetual Power, Perpetual Durability, Perpetual Fun

Available in two different versions for freshwater or saltwater/big game, these rods are100% glass construction, but rolled with a uniqueblend ofboth E-glass and S-glassutilizing high-tech, ultra thin pre-pregs. These unique materials, combined with perfectly designed tapers, produce a very lightweight and sensitive rod with a quick recovery speed.

These rods have a slightly faster action than the Spruce Creek, but like all McFarland rods, still have a deep bend and superior smoothness and line feel. Perpetual rods produce perfectly formed loops and have the reserve power for longer casts if needed. I give these rods a dual line rating. People who like a slightly faster action and use a more aggressive casting stroke will prefer the lighter rating. By jumping up to the second rating, the Perpetual rods bend similarly to the Spruce Creek but with a lighter in the hand feel.

The lighter, thinner pre-preg of the Perpetual is ideal for long light-line rods. This allows me to make a 3wt glass rod approaching 9 in length that is responsive, quick recovering, and still light in the hand. Perpetual rods are available in natural clear glass and beautiful and glowing translucent brown or spring green.
