Perpetual Glass

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 are 100% glass construction, but rolled with a unique blend of both E-glass and S-glass utilizing 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.

Perpetual Trout Rods

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.

Perpetual Heavy Weights (Lines 8-14)

As the modern pioneer in heavyweight glass rods I’ve been committed to pushing the envelope and crushing the barriers that for years were associated with glass rods. The more I experimented the more I realized that there is absolutely no truth to the idea that glass is “only good for trout rods under 8 feet”. The Perpetual rods in the heavier line weights are the ultimate tool for the biggest, toughest fish on the planet. Perpetual rods are quick loading, powerful, still light in the hand, and nothing fights big fish as well. Almost all modern graphite rods in heavier line weights are overly stiff and “lock up” 6 feet or more from your hand giving the leverage to the fish and causing excess strain on your wrist. The deep bend of the Perpetual instantly reverts the leverage advantage to the angler and allows you to fight the fish from the most powerful part of the rod. These rods are also much more enjoyable to cast than stiff graphite rods. Add in unmatched durability and you have the absolute ultimate big game rod.
