Depends on what you want to do with it, and in which weight as well. In the #2 I'd get a TXL, anything heavier a TXL-F.
Mario, I'll be using it for fishing dry and dropper with very light tippets on small streams for smallish LS and SS yellows, short casts, plus the occasional troot trip. I like that the TXL is not a fast action rod.
If I'm not mistaken, the 7 foot 10 3 piece TXL packs down to around the same length as a 4 piece 9 foot rod so it's not really an issue for travel. After reading all the info I'm leaning towards the TXL over the TXL-F.
Thanks again for all the info guys.
