I love my TFO's. I like them as much as my Winston to be honest. The reels I have (MK1 and some tiny 2 wt thing) are phenomenal for the price. You cant expect an Abel, but for what you pay they are incredible. So, in a nutshell, yes, their rods are a good indication of their reels.

Hope you like them as much as I do!
