That's a good deal on a TFO. Just a heads up on a few things I've seen. Riverside has some really sweet Fetha Styx rods on blowout. 9' 4pc 8wt for $150 reg $250. They look sweet. these ones I think.

On flybc there are some for sale too. A dragonfly going for $125.

hope that helps.

Sorry my bad. I was at Riverside today and the Rod is actually cheaper than I quoted. It's on sale for $120 reg $260. It is the Master Series. Any ways a sweet price on a nice 4 piece rod. He is currently out of stock with more on the way.

i would say mine is more of a medium-med/fast

it has a good fighting butt too and also came with a tube and sock.

i haven't heard anything bad about the echo rods especially for the price range.

thumbs up for the Rajeffs!
