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), on a TiCrX 5 weight rod. 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
This 6 weight TiCrX fly rod is for medium size streams and lakes; designed for casting in tight places and shorter distances.
4 pieces is great for travel and backpacking.
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!"
