Hi, I'm looking for an epic 580 rod or possibly a 686 if anybody has one?
Many thanks,

Hi Simon

I’ll have an ask around. I think I know where there might be a 580 that could be for sale.

Cheers

Sandy

Hi Sandy,
That's great, thank you. I follow your Instagram page and drool😂, all of your rods are works of art but the McFarland Freestone looks beautiful.

Kind Regards,
             Simon

Many thanks Simon

There are some 580 and 686 at the German dealer on EBay

Not sure if that’s what you are after.

My 79 was designed to have the usefulness of the 580 but feel like the 476 to cast. The prototype took fish up to 11lb with no issues and is a cracking dryfly rod. So it’s maybe an option if you can’t find a n epic in budget. Give me a shout if you fancy.
