Thanks for posting this. I've been shopping for a nicer fly rod/reel and this solidifies my choice in the TFO.

Heard this weekend that the entire Professional Series of TFO....... is in redesign and 25% Off. Cabelas has 4 and 5 weights for 99.00 no 8 weights though.

I cast a guy's TFO BVK at a RSFF meeting. I really liked it. The Pro Series isn't bad, but I think the other models have surpassed that line to the point that I'd pay the extra money for a different model.

I have a TFO Axiom 8wt and love it. It got broken in 4 extra pieces when it snagged a branch in the mud boat and I sent it in for repair and got a brand new rod in rod sock within 4 days.
