Temple Fork PRO Series

Hi
I fish with Orvis, T&T and Sage rods.

I'm thinking of buying a Temple Fork PRO Series rod. They say this rod
competes with pricier rods. Is this true?



Thank you, John

Some say yes, some say no...only you can decide for yourself.

Depends on who says it, and what you expect of it. If you expect to get a
1000$ rod for 100$ you will be disappointed.

On the other hand, if you want a $100 rod for $1000, email me.

Well, last month I bought a St Croix Legend Ultra (hey, they're being
discontinued, so they're on sale) 4wt to replace my Loomis 4wt after casting
the TFO Pro and a few others. It (the TFO) is a good rod and equivalent to
the Loomis, but felt like it was "rattling." Today, at the Ft Washington PA
fly show, I just cast and immediately bought the ADG Titanium 8' 4wt. About
the same price as the TFO, but I was able to load the rod with 5' and 60' of
line. It cast like a dream. I side-by-side tried it against T&T, Sage and
Scott, IMHO, it beat them all.
I've never bought a rod on such short notice. This thing felt like nothing
I've ever casted before. The designer and owner of the company, Mr. Ahn,
walked me through the construction, AFTER I HAD CAST IT. I was already
hooked. One telling thing was the number of vendors and guides that I saw
picking them up and using them in their casting demonstrations.
By the way, until today, I'd never heard of them and have no connection with
the company. You might want to check them out. www.titaniumflyrods.com

Ol'#12 fished better than many of the new rods that I have recently
tried. :-(

If the Pro is their TiCr rod, it's a fast, powerful rod. It's decently
finished, not like a Winston or a T&T but comparable to a Sage. The rod
case it comes in is worthless.

That's puzzling. My TiCR came with a quite adequate aluminum tube.

Hi Frank, I have a ADG titanium 7/8 weight and I love it. I love all of
ADG's products (I have reels, waders, and a rod).

My titanium that cost me $500 is many times better than my tfo that cost
me $89.
