McFarland Tailwind Fly Rods Graphite Blanks

McFarland Rods “Tailwind” Fly Rods Blank 9ft various classes

The Tailwind blanks feature a new, highly developed taper, a fast recovery with a nearly parabolic action that's unmatched by any other rod. The Tailwind blank is remarkably light in the hand, weighing just 72 grams (finished rod) for the 5-weight model. Fast and powerful, it loads at 10 feet but effortlessly casts more than 80 feet, and has unparalleled line feel. The Tailwind blanks are such revolutionary blanks that people often say on their first cast, "That's a really nice medium-action rod, but I need a faster action to increase line speed and casting distance." Then, as they release more line, their faces light up as they feel the rod respond perfectly, pushing the line further and increasing line speed, easily making longer casts than ever before with less effort!

The key to the Tailwind blank's revolutionary performance is a sophisticated new graphite pre-preg for 2017, coupled with a radical approach to taper design. Additionally, the McFarland Transition Ferrule System eliminates dead spots through the ferrules. The result is a combination of line feel, lightness, and line speed never before experienced. Since its debut a few years ago, the Tailwind has been an instant favorite of experienced guides and fly fishermen worldwide, and the redesigned 2017 version is even more amazing.

Cast with the tailwind as if you had the wind at your back!
