BigBrownTrout 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 I haven't fished that exact rod, but I do own 4 TFO rods and love them all. Their customers service has been great to me. My Sage rarely makes an appearance anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 I have the 9' Lefty 9wt rod and it is really nice. If you could find the local TFO rep and/or shop that carries TFO, they should be able to get that Teeny 10wt in your hands for you to test cast. That is the only way to know if it will be right for you. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard great things about TFO so find it pretty appealing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panama Red 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Where in Japan? We were stationed at Yokota for four years (86-90), used to fly fish around itsu-kai-ichi and ome-kaido. Was one of my best assignments by far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveGibson 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 looking at a TFO jim teeny 9ft for a ten weight as a back up, has anyone tried them? I'm am sponsored by TFO and like their rods very much. However, I would go with a TiCRX, Axiom or BVK over the Teeny. I had a Teeny 6-weight and it wasn't my favorite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 I have to agree about the TICRX, the only one of TFO's rods on my skiff. I have that 9wt and it will certainly work a 10wt as well as it's listed weight. If you choose the X you'll be getting a much larger diameter butt section than most 9wts.... In just a few months my anglers have put it through the wringer with lots of tarpon up to about 30lbs, fishing at night around bridges. It's done everything we've asked it to....
