phatkid, I am not much of a fan of TFO rods. I have cast every single one of them at one point or another. The only one I ever liked was a three weight that had a green blank. I don't think it was one of the more expensive ones. Don't know the model name but I think it is the only one that is green. If I had to pick a budget three weight I would definately consider that one. It is more of a med than fast and it performed very well at a variety of distances, and I thought the price was right.
