Temple Fork Outfitters Trout & Panfish Spinning Rod

I ordered 6’6” one piece rod with high anticipation. The folks at FishUSA shipped immediately! The good. It’s well made. I love the blank. The guides are great too. It’s definitely a fast action and I love the bend. That’s about all the good I have to say. My number one dislike is that it’s tip heavy and the balance doesn’t sit in the reel stem. I wish the reel seat was reversed for more rearward weight. I solved this issue with a 1” chair leg rubber stopper added to the rear most cork. It’s heavy to me also. I prefer my Bass Pro Shops panfish elite for balance, casting distance, price, and weight. The TFO has its place but to me it needed adjustments to get it right. Just one dude on the Internet’s opinion.

Purchased this rod with money from returning a St. Croix Panfish and could not be happier. I have the 6' UL paired with a Shimano Sedona 1000 that has held up to great, despite hooking into a few fish outside it's weight class.

Until now, I have only fished off the rack ultralight rod-reel combos. I bought the TFO 6-foot two piece, because it's the shortest two piece and I want it for travel. Used it for the first time today and am VERY impressed. It's long-casting, accurate and the rod doesn't "wobble" following the cast. I paired it with a Penn Fierce III size 1000 and it's very light in the hand. Very Satisfied!

Fish USA was the first company to notify me when they were available again.
I received pole in less than a week after ordering very happy with pole and Fish USA !!

6'. This rod has great sensitivity. Can feel the slightest nibbles even from those 3" pannies. I've been using braided main line, and flouro leader. This rod loads up nice, not a noodle ul at all. This will hold up to larger fish as well just be smart, and grab the net. Its light, and fun to fish with. Bought for kayak, and stream stomping. But I will buy the 7' for the boat
