Need some feedback on some of these rods. I'm leaning towards buying dobyns as I used it this past weekend and it was awesome. Thanks.

TFO - A Texas Company. Lot of well known anglers put their name on their rods.
Lefty Krehl is one of them....fly fishing legend.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

which dobyns are you looking at?
For the money I think TFO is the answer but if you can afford TOP END, dobyns.

Iv fished them all the dobyns rods from the savvy to the champ extreme are good rods. The champ line is the rod most can relate with. But used and save tons of cash, and the new rod at the 100$ price point came out called fury.

I love Denali. Best rods on the market for the money. This for me along with a few Tatula rods and Fenwicks.

I love the champion series Dobyns. I used to own Denali's but switched those to Dobyns. They're a great rod and the warranty is the best part to me!

TFO is a great rod at $99 or $150 (Tactical). I own 3, and they would be my choice at that price. That being said, the Dobyns Champion is a step up both in quality and price. In my opinion, they are lighter, more balanced, and more sensitive. Just about my favorite rod however, is the Dobyns Extreme. It's another big step up in price, but man it's a sweet rod.
Have never owned a Denali, so I have no input there.
