This series of fly rods have a notable pedigree as they are being rolled by Mike McFarland of McFarland Rod Company and then thoughtfully built out by rod maker Ben Casarez to his exact specifications.
Next after this will be a 5-weight from the 15th Anniversary series that will be announced soon.
Ben wrote… “The 15th Anniversary series continues with the 7’9” 4-weight in three pieces and this taper that was developed in 2017 with longtime friend Dave Pyle and Mike McFarland. This custom taper delivers a full‑flexing, moderate action with a firm
butt section that will cast dries but also nymphs and streamers.
After
two successful limited runs, it returns as part of the anniversary
series. These builds feature a translucent brown blank, Snake Brand guides, Struble agate
stripper, red and black silk wraps, 6” Fenwick reverse half‑wells flor
grip, shop‑turned alligator juniper or padauk wood insert, and Lemke LC7
down‑locking (NOS) hardware. One rod will feature a Lemke LC14
slide‑band (NOS) seat with a cork insert. Each build includes a custom rod sock and
tube. This series of 4-weight fly rods is limited to five builds.”
And, if you’re looking for something just a little different, Ben is offering a slide band version of his 3-weight and 4-weight 15th Anniversary series fly rods. See more in this Instagram post.
