This may be a long shot, but can anyone compare the Barclay 68 Blue Ridge Special to the McFarland 3wt Spruce Creek? I’m looking at the 6’8” Spruce Creek but interested to hear feedback on the McFarland 3wt in any length, as there isn’t much information available about the Spruce Creek 3wt.
One major difference is the Barclay is 4 piece while the McFarland is 3 piece, which is not a deal breaker either way for me. Based on the descriptions on each company’s website, my (probably off base) impression is the McFarland is a more full flex profile while the Barclay may have a slightly faster tip, although I doubt anyone has ever described any Barclay rod as fast.
