The TXL-F however was not built up and I could only have a look at the blank, which is not really a fair comparison. What I would like to know is what is the difference, if any, between the 2?
Hi Andrew,
I have the TXL 000wt and 3wt both in 7'10". I have also fished the TXL 00wt and 2wt. I have cast (not fished) a couple of TXL-F's including the 000wt and 2wt. The TXL-F's seem a little faster and crisper but how this translates into actual fishing I am not sure. All the people i have spoken to who have fished the TXL-F's, seem to love them. The TXL 3wt is the best small stream rod I have ever had the pleasure of fishing. Make sure that you match the TXL or TXL-F rods with the Sage QDT II line as it balances them perfectly. I have tried the rod with some other lines including SA and all of them overloaded the rod and slowed the action. If I had the choice I would probably go with the TXL-F as its a 4pc and easier to travel with.
