Looking for opinions on TFO fly rod blanks and the best place to buy them. If one of the sponsors has them please inform. If supplier is not a sponsor, please contact by private E-mail. Thank you very much.

MudHole carries those blanks. I'm working on an 8wt blank right now. Everything I've heard indicates they are great blanks for the cost.

I would think TFO would have or could get you a dealer list.

Good Value blank. On par with the Batson.
I've always felt thay were too heavy mostly in the tip.
There are lot's better namely Sage, Winston, St Croix and Scott.

True, but the brands listed also have prices 2, 3, or 4X as much. You get what you pay for, but the TFOs are great rods for the money and are just what the doctor ordered for many novice anglers.
