Temple Fork Outfitters has released four new rods that we couldn't be more excited to share with you. Let's begin with the LK Legacy rods which pay homage to great angler, Lefty Kreh.
TFO LK Legacy Fly Rods
The LK Legacy series pays homage to
TFO’s founding rod designer Lefty Kreh by incorporating all his wisdom
in the creation of the ultimate “big water” trout rod for intermediate
to advanced anglers. Whether casting dries, nymphs, or streamers, the LK
Legacy’s perfect tracking and a crisp, smooth recovery make them very
powerful and responsive. LK Legacy series lighter line weights will
easily protect 5x tippet when fishing to highly selective trout. And the
mid to heavier line weights are excellent for windy conditions or
distance casting as they are designed to efficiently generate high line
speed and very tight loops. The combination of light weight and
durability make these rods perfect to fish from first light to sundown
in the high mountain west where conditions can include wind and big
water.
From a
delicate 3-weight to the very popular 8-weight, 11 models allow the LK
Legacy series to perfectly match a broad range of conditions,
techniques, and species. All models feature alignment dots color coded
by line weight and LK Legacy rods come packaged in a labeled rod sock
and a TFO rod tube.
The
LK Legacy series puts unsurpassed power and responsiveness in the hands
of the freshwater angler. Combined with TFO’s no-fault lifetime
warranty against defects, these rods are the perfect choice for the
wide-open space of broad rivers and other big water worldwide. Fish the
Original.
However, Temple Fork Outfitters didn't stop there. They took this new legendary rod and crafted a one-of-a-kind two handed version.
TFO LK Legacy Two Handed Fly Rods
The LK Legacy TH series was designed
by Temple Fork Outfitters for intermediate to advanced anglers seeking
faster blanks that deliver more efficient line movement and more
recovery crispness. These rods can pick up longer, heavier fly lines and
tips with minimal effort and a unique touch-and-go feel. The five rod
LK Legacy TH series features the 6-weight for trout spey or overhead
casting off the beach and longer 8-weight rods for steelhead and salmon.
The
LK Legacy TH series is constructed with high modulus carbon fiber
material and finished in a matte grey color tipped with hunter green
thread wraps. Componentry includes up-locking, anodized cut-out reel
seats with braided carbon fiber inserts. All rods feature black frame
stainless steel stripping guides
and anodized, double-foot, stainless
steel snake guides. LK Legacy TH rods are finished with a thinly
tapered, composite cork handle for more ergonomic handling and
durability in the foulest fishing conditions. All models feature both
grain window and gram weighting for easy line pairings, as well as
alignment dots color coded by line weight. LK Legacy TH rods are
packaged in a labeled rod sock and a TFO rod tube.
The LK Legacy
TH series is uncompromising in performance and quality when compared to
any other rod on the market. Add TFO’s no-fault lifetime warranty
against defects and they are clearly a benchmark by which to judge all
advanced two-handed rods regardless of price.
From here, we move onto the new Temple Fork Outfitters Blue Ribbon Fly Rods. Fly rods that we here at Mad River Outfitters are very excited about.
The Blue Ribbon series is perfect for
the freshwater angler who needs to effectively cover water with repeated
casts over the course of the day. In these situations, the successful
angler is the one whose fly is in the water the most. For this reason,
the Blue Ribbon series is designed to load easily with minimal back cast
allowing the angler to make quick accurate casts with very little
effort. So, whether its casting indicators, or multi-fly rigs from a
drift boat, or bait fish patterns to the bank all day the Blue Ribbon
series is engineered to deliver cast after cast with ease.
The
Blue Ribbon series is constructed with intermediate modulus carbon fiber
material and finished in a chestnut brown color with premium cork
grips. The light weight up-locking solid brushed aluminum reel seats
include an integrated hook keeper and have carbon fiber inserts. The
11-rod series is finished with SiC stripping guides and
ultra-lightweight chromium-impregnated stainless-steel snake guides. All
models feature TFO’s line weight ID system on the handle and alignment
dots color coded by line weight. Blue Ribbon rods are packaged in a
labeled rod sock and TFO rod tube.
The Blue Ribbon series is all
about efficient casting when keeping the fly in the water is key. And
when combined with TFO’s no-fault lifetime warranty against defects,
these rods are the perfect choice for covering lots of water in search
of your favorite freshwater species. Fish the Original.
Finally, the new Temple Fork Outfitters Stealth Fly Rod series. We bet you didn't see this coming.
TFO Stealth Fly Rods
The Stealth series was designed by TFO
National Advisor Jason Randall specifically for European, high-stick
and tight-line nymphing techniques that require drag-free drifts and
ultra-sensitive strike detection. This rod series is engineered to
powerfully deliver accurate multi-fly presentations yet to be extremely
light and perfectly balanced as necessary for comfortable fishing and
extreme sensitivity. Every decision in the creation of these rods has
been driven by the goal of maximizing direct-contact fishing performance
and, as a result, there is no better set of tools than the Stealth
series if that is your focus.
The Stealth series is constructed
with high modulus carbon fiber material and is finished in a matte green
color. Two models are available – a 10’ 2-weight weighing an incredibly
lite 2.8oz and a slightly longer 10’6” 3-weight offering slightly more
reach and weighing 3.0oz. The series has down-locking machined aluminum
reel seats and feature black single-foot stripping guides for weight
savings and black single-foot snake guides. The Stealth series comes in a
cloth rod sock and a TFO rod tube.
The Stealth series was
designed with singular goal of creating the most direct connection
possible between fish and angler. Then we covered each one with TFO’s
no-fault lifetime warranty against defects, making them perfect for the
angler dedicated to the art of direct contact fishing.
So there you have it. All the new fly rod series from our friends at Temple Fork Outfitters. These rods are sure to leave a lasting impact on the fly fishing industry as a whole and for that, we couldn't be more excited.
