Tailwind 9' #5
Quote from Mike McFarland
'The Tailwind features a highly refined fast recovering, yet deep flexing action that is unlike any other rod available. The Tailwind is remarkably light in the hand (71 grams for the 5wt), quick loading and powerful (loads at 10 feet but will throw 80 feet plus with ease) and has unmatched line feel.
The key to the Tailwind’s revolutionary performance is a highly evolved graphite pre-preg 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 experienced. Since its debut a few years ago, the Tailwind has been an instant favourite of experienced guides and fly fishers worldwide.'
This rod has a modified half wells grip with a REC uplocking reel seat with a Kingwood insert. The whippings are dark maroon with gold accents, the stripper is a Mildrum TiCr and the snake guides and tip top are Snake Brand ECO universals.
I believe that the Tailwind is a great allrounder and I strongly recommend this rod.
