Emerger

THE rod for the serious technical trout fisherman.

I roll the Emerger blanks with a blend of low and medium modulus graphite to produce an ultra-smooth casting rod with incredible line feel. These rods are reminiscent of some of the early graphite rods produced before the modulus race and casting pond hero phase took off, but with an advanced resin system and a unique material layup that reduces weight and enhances sensitivity. By continually tweaking designs over the past 15 years I’ve come up with series of rods that are the ultimate trout fishing tool in the hands of an experienced angler. The Emerger is light in the hand and quick loading, but with enough power to make pin point presentations at longer distances.

The Emerger uses the internal or spigot version of the McFarland Transition Ferrule and a classic unsnaded natural finish blank for a timeless old school look. Like all McFarland rods, the Emerger features unmatched finish work and the finest components including my own reel seat design with highly figured wood inserts, genuine Snake Brand guides, and cork work that is far superior to any mass produced rod.

With a perfectly balanced, super smooth medium action, the Emerger excels at precise casts and perfect presentations in the 15-60 foot range.
