New to me rod...maybe?

Post by ab7bear »

I've been looking to get a new fly rod for redfish and came across this one. What are yall's opinions on this rod and price? Said he would cover shipping it to me as well. Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

Temple Fork Outfitters TicrX 9 foot, 8 weight, 4 piece fly rod for sale. Comes with the soft rod wrapper for the individual pieces and the carbon fiber or whatever it is sealable hard outer case. It is in great condition. I only used it once on the water that I can actually remember. Mainly used it for practice while learning and that is why the fore grip shows some discolorization. I would consider it in great condition.
$150.00

That's not a bad price for that blank.

If that is Beavis' it should be in good shape. He seems like the king of guy that would take care of his stuff.
I've had one for nearly three years and it still serves me well. It is a very fast rod and you will grow to love it.

I bought one of these as a backup tarpon rod and I've been pleased. Fast action and quality build. That price seems fair also.

That's a great rod. But there aren't any fish in Clemson are there? :wink:

A Scotch-brite pad, liquid soap and a little elbow grease does wonders for restoring cork grips to like-new condition.

tfo has never been known for quality cork. Nice rods with super casting action.


but that rod is going to be super fast=stiff...If that is what you want it's def a good price
