This TSH86MH4 now has me extremely interested. Far less of a gamble as to performance. I just find it difficult to believe there is not a market for these 4-piece rods. Soooo much fun on small to decent sized stripers. I e-mailed them asking for any additional info. Does anyone have experience with this line of blanks or company?

I read some about this. Would appreciate any other input. I have a 9' 4-piece TFO salmon rod my son and occasionally myself use for Striped Bass in Narragansett Bay, RI and will be using on our 2nd trip to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska this August.

Thanks Geoff, I'm guessing i should keep the guide sizes at least at the recommended for single foot as the double foot guides will be closer to the blank?

How much would it effect the action. I know more weight... Should I stay with same guide sizes and spacing if I attempt. 1st time here so Hi. I'm Brian.
