I would suggest casting as many rods as you can, then buying the one you like best. Nothing against TFO, but I've owned them, and they don't hold a candle to my $600 rods. Not even in the same league as a Sage or Loomis or T&T.

It sounds like your'e looking for one rod/reel combo for bonefishing...if so, get yourself an 8-weight, as this size will prove to be most versatile for your bones and stripers.

Good Luck,

Fred
