Re: TFO NXT 4/5 weight combo
georgiared,
I'm surprised you're having any problems at all with anything from TFO. I've cast several of their rods and have found no problems with any of their gear. I have, however, never cast one of the lines they sell with their combos. But, I don't know what lines they use. I liked the 9' 4wieght Professional so much that I opted for one of them over the Sage Launch. I use a RIO WF4F line and it works great. If you are planning on changing lines, RIO would be my recommendation.
From what I can see at their website, the NXT rod is the same as the Signature series except it's offered in a 4 piece. I wish they would offer the Signature in a 7 1/2', 4 piece, 5 wieght. That would be the cat's meow. You might want to consider a Cortland 444 Peach line as well.
Good Luck, and C'ya Later,
