‘Tis the season for treating the anglers in your life (or yourself). We asked some of our Advisors, Ambassadors, and Pro Staffers what their favorite TFO rods are and how they fish them to develop an excellent list of gift ideas.
Check out these great suggestions for anglers of all skill levels this holiday season.
Blane Chocklett (The Chocklett Factory)
12wt BC Big Fly (TF 12 90 4 BF) // “My favorite big fish rod, the BC Big Fly, delivers the biggest flies to the toughest fish on the planet. Chocklett-Tested. Chocklett-Approved.”
Cliff Pace (Bassmaster/MLF)
7’6″ Heavy Casting Resolve Bass (RB C 766-1) // “I would have to go with the Resolve Bass 766 Casting rod; it has become my favorite flipping stick over the last couple of years.”
Rob Fordyce (The Seahunter)
11wt Axiom ll-X (TF 11 90 4 A2-X) // “The Axiom II-x 11wt is the best bang for your buck BIG TARPON fly rod in the industry. I love it, and you will, too.”
Joey Nania (Bassmaster)
7’3″ Medium Light+ Resolve Bass (RB S 733-1) // “I recommend the 7’3″ Medium Light+ TFO Resolve Bass spinning rod. It’s the best balanced multi-purpose rod I’ve used, perfect for drop shotting and finesse techniques. My all-time go-to!”
Capt. Jonathan Moss (The Captain’s Log)
7’6″ Medium Spinning Tactical Inshore (TAC IS 764-1) // “The 7’6” Medium is my ideal all-around rod for fishing the flats. It has enough backbone for topwater plugs, a fast action tip for casting to spooky fish, and great sensitivity to feel the bite – all at an affordable price!
Shyanne Orvis
9′ 5wt LK Legacy (TF 05 90 4 LK) // “My absolute favorite trout rod out there. It handles everything from beautifully casting dry flies to throwing small streamers.”
Nick LeBrun (MLF Fishing)
7’2″ Heacy Casting Resolve Bass (RB C 726-1) // “I would say the Resolve 72 Heavy baitcaster is one of my favorite rods in the TFO lineup. Great rod for throwing jigs under docks and structure.”
Guillermo Gonzalez (Bassmaster Kayak Series)
6’6″ Pastime Trout-Panfish Ultralight (PTP 661-1) // “The Pastime is a rod that most bass fisherman might not buy on their own, but it’s always good to have in the boat for fun and variety. I really enjoyed the Pastime on a recent trip, and I know you will, too.”
Lino Jubilado
6wt Blue Ribbon (TF 06 91 4 BR) // “The 9′ 6wt Blue Ribbon is my Go-To for all my carp fishing! Pair it up with the NTR III reel for more line capacity, and you will be good to go!”
