First of all... if it wasnt for Lefty writing articles for the outdoors section in my local newspaper (Baltimore Sun) I would have never caught a trout or picked up a fly rod. I have never met or seen him but as a child his weekly fishing reports got me into havinbg fun on the water and catching fish.

Secondly, TFO is a first rate company. If I had the money to buy a Sage or a Scott I would just buy 4 TFOs and fish more waters. Their rods are incredible for the price.

Just my two cents...
