Do you love big bluegill?

After some conversations in the past with Carl he steered me toward the TFO rod. It's a 4wt 8ft 2- piece. Intruder fly reel with quick adjuster drag. Also picked up a nail knot tool since I struggle.

Amen to that Jim. Glad I managed to salvage a few off from Tooty before he does the horizontal mambo.

those are good rods.best value for the money in a graphite fly rod i have the tfo 6'6 3wt.got it as the combo.was a geat deal and a petty slow rod for graphite.by slow i mean good,loads better and roll casts great.have caught 100s of blegills on it.i just got  a 1970 fenwick ff706.7ft  6wt.mostly for bass and carp but one of the best all around flyrods ever built/the slower pace of glass flyrods suits my aching wrist and shoulder theses days.these old glass rods almost cast themselves

Volunteer coaching little league baseball got me tied down 5 to 6 days a week until August. It's like a madhouse since the moment my eyes are opened, to the moment they are shut..whenever that is.

Nothing is wrong in turning any room into a fly shop. Of course, someone is always standing in your way with a flamethrower and a garbage can at the ready to make your day.

Nice nice combo. Looks like that nail knot tool I've started ages past is making into the toolboxes. Perfect budgeted setup. Don't talk to Carl too much, or else he'll convince you to turn your room into a fly tackle shop, and you'll be ending up living in a wood cabin somewhere.
