TFO has made it into my list of go to companies when Im looking to buy a new rod.

Ive got the Ticr 8 and 9wt. Wonderful rods. They make longer casts almost painfully easy, yet are just as unforgiving if your casting mechanics arent up to par.

For what you get the price cannot be beat. A few years ago these rods would have been selling for the same prices as some of the higher end companies.
