No way. The tfo series 1 is a good beginner rod, but the sierra reel is
**** compared to what you will get with Powell. The powell is a
machined reel with a really good drag, the sierra is a die cast reel.
Heck, I picked up a sierra for $11 brand new from walmart.

Advantage XL 4 pc Mdium fast action fly rod with machined aluminum mid
arbor fly reel and fly line for $179.00.

TiMax 4 pc fast action fly rod with machined aluminum fly reel and fly
line for $249.00.

Tiboron II 4 pc extra fast action fly rod with machined aluminum mid
arbor fly reel for $349.00.

Edge 4 piece extra fast action fly rod with machined aluminum mid arbor
fly reel and fly line for $499.00.

For more information about Powell Fly Rods, please visit their website
at www.powellco.com or call them at (415) 382-9745.

Sheesh, you sound like a telemarketer for Powell. I know you're not, but
damn Steve.......... You don't want to give any wrong impressions that
might hurt Powell, do you?

The Powell deals are great but they're not on their website. The prices
mentioned by SpeyFly are intended to be offered at shows only but I think
they'll do it over the phone too.

I still like the deal at Arricks and the Okuma Sierra works fine in most
situations, even though it's a (gasp) cast aluminum reel.
