TFO TiCrX Fly Rods

If you like fast rods, the TiCrX is the rod for you. The 'X' stands for 'extra fast'... and it is. I fish this rod with one size over on line weight, for example RIO Grand 5Wt which casts like a 5.7 weight. This rod only bends at the tip, so it casts like a rocket, even in the most windy conditions. Previously, fast action rods had tips so stiff that we had to run heavier tippets to prevent fish from breaking off. The TFO TiCrX has a soft tip, so we can use lighter tippets, for better fly presentation. An aside....on a recent trip I had been fishing for a while with a TFO Finesse 3 weight, then switched to the TiCrX 5 weight. What a change! Fish that were bending the Finesse in half, now barely flexed the TiCrX.

What TFO says.... The evolution of the Lefty Kreh TiCr X Series has been fascinating. Imagine Lefty Kreh taking a prototype and saying "this is a nice rod but..." then imagine new mandrels and as many as 6 prototypes later having him say, "PERFECT!"

Lefty designed the TiCr X Series to be a powerful angling tool. Rod weights 5-8 are designed to present flies at distant targets. Rod weights 9-12 have the power to launch larger flies and to lift an angry fish out of the depths. The reserve power in the TiCr X Series give these rods the ability to carry a lot of line in the air and can easily be over lined for close-in work. The X rod's blue finish spring to life in a little sunlight while the flor grade cork, oversized titanium oxide stripping guides, and uplocking reel seat with cushioned hoods top off this ultimate package of form and function.
