Wins the $100 rod category hands down.

Fished with a pro staffer the other day...good stuff, about to get one at cabelas for $100 -fairly lightweight rod- nice sensitivity-- temple fork makes some good stuff. I'm not on pro staff.

Thanks. I hear that Moe's tackle is the only place to buy the sharpest and stoutest hooks! JK.
I've never used a G Loomis rod, but everyone talks like they are the most sensitive. Just way too expensive for me. If Loomis is now making the same or better rods for less so that more people can afford to fish, that is pretty cool. Any idea how much he was involved in the design and manufacturing of these rods?

Thanks, too. I hear that bass will only bite baits tied to a Denali rod!
I appreciate all the feedback about the Temple Fork rods.

I got one and set it up for c. rig and love it. I own several T. Fork fly rods and have been really happy. Sent one back that I broke a line guide off of and they repaired it for shipping cost only. Sounds like from what I've read they back these new casting rods up as well.

I appreciate all the feedback about the Temple Fork rods.  Haven't heard that but I love mine. Sold all my Castaways and All Stars after I tried them. Can't say I've held a TFO rod. Have you had a chance to fish with somebody that has one? (a TFO). Try before you buy is a good rule of thumb.

For the money the falcon bucco is a lighter weight rod. Compare both side by side. I like the color code on the tfo rods.
One you build and fish with your own hand built custom rod you will fish with nothing else!
