In the TFO stable is a new rod series called the "Impact" It is a lightweight but tough rod that is very smooth casting. I test drove three of these rods (6, 8 and 10 weights) hard in the past year on bonefish, bonita, and blackfin tuna in the past year and they handled wind and strong fish quite nicely. Having fished with most every offering TFO has put out there, the Impact is my preferred TFO stick now. The 8 and 10 weights in particular feel two line weights lighter in hand and still have the backbone to put the heat on when fighting larger fish.
