aren't TFO rods (and reels) a little easier on the wallet?

Temple reels arent very good in the under $100 range, really corny in fact, sucky drags. The Okuma is retailed at $70, but he should sell it at $60 with the rod. The Temple Professional Series rods are the onlyway to go with Temple, start at $150. So same money within a few bucks as the St. Croix rods. The Super Fly rod is $80, but its a niche product and hard to find. The Sage 1880 is the other reel I have and its good too, but at $150, you will be more than happy with the build and proformance of the Okuma at half the price.

Did you really get robbed, or did they brake in? Ive never heard of someone getting held up and they take things like fishing poles. Sucks that it happen either way man. Buy a good fly set up and it wil last a life time. Also get a hard tube case that has the spot for the reel. Trucks eat fly rods. Bass Pro's White River cases offer good bang for the buck.

i guess you're right... "robbed" wasn't the correct wording. burglarized is more accurate. they took everything out of my detached garage while i was sleeping one night. kinda crappy.

well, i finally did it. i got a temple fork 9ft 6wt Ti Cr rod and a TFO MK II reel. i just ordered a scientific anglers floating, weight forward fly line. can't wait for it to get here and i can start catching some fish.
