i use it on stillwaters, has a stunning action and did use it on the streams a coupla times, but too much power.

I have a 10wt Jim Teeny, also comes with the lifetime warrenty, but what pissed me off today as I went to fishing specialist, who I bought the rod from...R430 for a tip section WTF is what I said, they couldnt explain why its so expensive, for that money I would buy a whole new rod and then I have 4 spare sections rather than to sit with this crap. I am very dissapointed to be honest at the moment as far as I am concerend I would only pay for packaging as they would have to replace the section for free, after all it broke while I fought a fish and its a clean snap, right on the eye. If anyone has any connections in the right places that might be able to help me...I am begging you.

Thats BS, 250 bucks gets you a new section and that (250) is used for sending the broken section to USA, and to return a new one. That (the new one from US) will be used to replace the next brakage in SA.

Seems like that spicialist specialises in robbing fishers.

Phone Adrian at Optimax (012 348 4112) (The importer) nice guy, he will help you, he might eavan like to know who that "specialist" is that charge you R430 for the section

I would like to know your prefered 9WT fly rod...... .

The one that's being bend to the limet by a huge fish............

I hasten to add before this spirals into a which rod has the better warranty situation (as it inevitably will) ... I like the fact that I get my segment(s)/rod immediately at a fixed fee and I have to do forkall in terms of sending it anywhere.

That is one of the main reasons I like TFO, they guarantee in country representation and support. Good deal in my book.

Hi there John

I referred to the T & T Horizon II. This is actually my newest rod and it is a serious tool.

Cheers

I have been flyfising since before i can remember and have never broken a rod, but that record has been tarnished in the last 6 months after i splashed out and got a TFO TiCRX, its broken on me twice - and ive been very careful with it.
Flywaters have replaced the sections very swiftly both times, i must say that the warranty is good, and you're gonna need it.

At distance the rod is great, but at short range the thing is diabolical. It's also heavy.

So in short if you're looking to bomb out long casts all day long and you're strong its probably a decent option. But DON'T FORGET A BACKUP.

They say a car that breaks down on you is like a wife that cheats on you, you can never really trust it again, I feel the same way right now about my TFO.
