Chi Town Tom	TFO Finesse 1 weight or ?		Lead	[-]
Posts: 1 04/12/09 4:28 PM	Tags : None Hello! I am new to the sit and am thrilled to find someplace devoted to UL fly fishing. I have a 2 weight ( Cabelas 6'6" PT , which I slow with a 3 weight line) and 3 weight ( Sage 376 SP) already, but am looking for a true 1 weight (or smaller) at a reasonable price. I have heard good things about the TFO 6'9" 4 piece 1 weight and am curious if anyone has fished this rod? I have a BPS UL reel that I would like to pair with it and would welcome all input toward my next rod purchase. Thanks. Tom

There should be someone to come along who's use the TFO one, but I have a no longer made Cabela's Clear Creek one seven footer. It's a dream on the creeks where I fish. Join us here on Sunday April 26 8pm when Rick Pope of TOF will be here to discuss his UL offerings and UL in general. Les Ultralight fly fishing forum Creek guy and light liner

One of the tidbits he revealed was that the 1 weight Finesse will load up with only five feet of line outside the tiptop! That is with a 60 grain line. There was a lot more about the 1 weight Finesse but that was what grabbed my attention. It's one thing to toss thirty feet of line but being able to load up and cast with five says "close in fishing" That all being said, I have the Cabelas Clear Creek which Les described and I love it! It's the rod that rides behind the seat of my truck. rrhyne56 http://www.robinscustomleadersandflies.com http://robinsrumination.blogspot.com/ Blogging

I am already preaching the ULTRA Light flyfishing religion. Some interest was shown when I showed pics of some of the exotics I was able to catch in Florida Was invited to a Flyfishing club meeting during the month of May, I will surely introduce the boys to this web site ...Paul

Tengas, welcome to the UL forums. dpenrod is right, it's kind of fast and more of a 3wt. The TFO Finesse 7'3" 2wt is slower and true to line weight. J.

Hardy comes to mind, as does Echo. If your looking for glass, then Southbranch has a 6'6" 2wt, and Hardy a 5' 2wt. J.

Posts: 29 05/03/09 11:32 AM	tengas, i do own the tfo finesse 7'3" 2 wt. and it would definitely fit the bill for what you are looking for. the finesse 1wt. might even be a little slower. the price is right too, even at full retail it's less than $200.

Posts: 2508 05/05/09 9:54 AM Forum Owner / Administrator	Tengas, I really like those Malaysian trout you guys have. Such an interesting fish. I can't help but wonder what it would like to handle them on a nice 2wt. J. The Ultralight Fly Fishing Forum Ultralight Fly Fisherman, and small stream specialist.

Posts: 8 05/05/09 11:47 AM	thanks jkurtz7, i think it is the best on 1wt or 2wt for graphite and 3/4 weight for fiberglass.. mind is a fiberglass 5/6 and still its a good bend of rod... here are the pic.... mostly in malaysia we used a fiberglass fly rod for our streams...do visit here in our forum for more details... http://malaysianflyrodders.proboards.com/index.cgi?
