Mike (McFarland Rod Co)
Graphite: "My methods of material selection and layup, pattern cutting, and structural reinforcement are much different from traditional production methods, but the result is fine rods that are drastically different"
Glass: "Since I built my first glass rods over 20 years ago I have been constantly experimenting with tapers and different glass materials to push the envelope of what is possible in a fiberglass rod. "
