I have a 6 piece Reddington I've had all through this and it will not break. I also bought an Echo 7 wt to replace the TFO and 3 years with no issues. Both the Redd and Echo are the cheaper ones from both companies. So I think that is a valid comparison to the TFO ones that I will never buy again.
The best rod replacement policy is the ones you don't have to bother at all  |
