I was checking out the McFarland website recently and noticed a lineup Mike calls the Small Stream series. They’re all 3 weights ranging from 5’3” to 6’8”. Does anyone have experience fishing any of the rods in the Small Stream series?

If these are of Mike's design and production, these have to be super. He has led the way for a long time - enjoy his 7'9" for a 4 and his 8'8" for a 4....

All of Mikes rods are well thought out and superb fishing instruments, he really knows his craft.

The link above is my review of the McFarland Small Stream 683 a few months ago. I haven’t had a chance to fish it again yet but hope to get a bluegill on it soon.

I built out an early version of one that was just under 6'6" and labeled a 3 wt. I am not a small rod person and I thought it was as better with a 4 wt, but my friend who I sold it to loves it with a 3wt line. It has become his go to brookie rod for Shenandoah national park and other VA small streams.

I prefer the 7'3" 3wt.
