Temple Fork Outfitters Model: Lefty Kreh Professional Series 9' 5wt 4pc.
Review Category: Fishing Rods
Purchase: Fishing Rods Purchased in store at Bass Pro Outdoor World in Grapevine, TX. Price was 139.95. It is my primary rod for trout and panfish.
Things I like about the Temple Fork Outfitters Lefty Kreh Professional Series 9' 5wt 4pc. Fishing Rods: The Lefty Kreh Professional Series is a great mid leval fly rod. I would venture to say that it is one of the best for the money. The action is medium-fast with a progressive taper and a half wells cork grip. The rod comes with a "no fault" full lifetime warranty for the life of the original owner. Also, as the name suggests the rod was designed by a fly fishing legend, Lefty Kreh. I find this rod to be extremely castable.
What I don't like about the Temple Fork Outfitters Lefty Kreh Professional Series 9' 5wt 4pc.: It would have been nice if it had come with a rod tube, but for the price you pay for it, you can afford to by one seperately.
Fishing Rods Lefty Kreh Professional Series 9' 5wt 4pc. quality: The rod construction is IM-6 graphite. I would describe the quality of the grip cork as "good, but not best". Mine is a 4 piece, but it is also available in a 6 piece. The reel seat is uplocking and constructed of braided graphite and aluminum. Some of the cosmetic details seem a bit rough.
Lefty Kreh Professional Series 9' 5wt 4pc. summary: Definitely not the prettiest rod in the world, but if you want cosmetics, buy a Winston. This rod is designed to give you a maximum of performance at a minimum of price. I have met Rick Pope, the president of TFO, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy who wants to make a quality product and satisfy his costumers. Before joining on with TFO, Lefty Kreh was on the design team at Sage- one of the finest quality rod makers in the business. He completely redesigned all of TFO's rods when he joined their team. I've recently heard that TFO has begun producing fly reels as well. If they're reels are as good as their rods are, I will deffinitely be interested in checking them out.
