I have a TFO 7 wgt TiCr and, IMHO, it is a great rod for me and they are a greeat company. I broke the tip and for 25.00 had it back in a week like, if not new. There is a difference between the 2 rods, the TiCr is a little stiffer/faster. A lot also depends on the weight rod you are looking at, they change below a 6 weight. If you can't cast it first see if there is a return policy.
