TFO Fly Rods
July 06, 2006 TFO Supporting Casting For Recovery & Hope Casting For Recovery, founded in 1996, is a national non-profit support and educational program for women who have or have had breast cancer. CFR provides an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by the disease to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn fly-fishing, "a sport for life." Just as importantly, they offer an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun. CFR offers free retreats throughout the country, incorporating counseling, educational services and the sport of fly-fishing to promote mental and physical healing. Fly fishing techniques provide a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility. The dynamics of fly fishing provide a healing connection to the natural world, relieving everyday stress and promoting a sense of calm. These retreats also offer a forum for women with similar experiences to meet, learn a new skill and gain a respite from their everyday concerns. Any woman who has experienced breast cancer is eligible to attend a retreat (with medical clearance from their physicians). Casting For Recovery relies on local volunteers and organizations to support their community based retreats. CFR is holding 34 retreats in 23 states this year. www.castingforrecovery.org Through the combined efforts of Wanda Taylor, Donna Teeny and Lefty Kreh, Temple Fork Outfitters has created two unique fly rods built specifically to benefit "Casting for Recovery"; an 8'6" 5 weight and a 9' 8 weight. CFR rods are built on translucent purple blanks with pink lettering inscribed with the words "Supporting Casting For Recovery & Hope" and will include a distinctive pink rod sock. A $25 contribution will be made to Casting For recovery for every CFR rod that is purchased through an authorized TFO dealer. September 15, 2005 New TFO rod series by Jim Teeny Jim Teeny started the Teeny Nymph Company on July 1, 1971 in hopes of entering into the fly fishing tackle world. Thirty years later he is still there and growing. With all the products that Jim offers, none has had a greater impact on the fly-fishing industry than his sinking fly lines. He also offers a wide range of floating and specialty fly lines designed by some of the most respected fly fisherman in the industry today. With this knowledge and experience in mind, Temple Fork Outfitters is very pleased to announce a series of Jim Teeny designed fly rods. "It is very important for a rod to be strong, lightweight and to have a fast action with a powerful lower butt section and a sensitive tip," says Jim. "These rods have it all." Every rod (4-10 & 12 wt.) is fitted with a full wells grip and fighting butt, a fore grip is standard on the 12. The beautifully finished blanks, a luminous moss green with gold accents, titanium oxide stripping guides and a black anodized up-locking reel seat provide this 9' 4 piece rod series with a smart look and at $199.95, even smarter. All TFO rods feature our lifetime unconditional warranty. Simply return the damaged rod with $25 for shipping and handling, and we will repair or replace your rod. Please ask your local dealer about TFO TFO introduces Bluewater Rods Offshore a sailfish is lit up like a neon sign angrily searching for the teaser, bull dolphin greyhound to consume a popper working the edge of a weed line and prowling tuna chase schools of baitfish in an uncontrolled craze. For those who dare, the ocean offers a bounty of fly-fishing opportunity. Temple Fork Outfitters has your fly rod, rods that for the past year have experienced and tamed all of these challenging species. Introducing the Bluewater Light and Heavy Duty rod series. Temple Fork Outfitters new hybrids are designed using a combination of S-Glass, intended for heavy lifting, and high-modulus carbon fiber, for exceptional casting ability. Bluewater blanks go through TFO's proprietary TiCr coating process twice, adding power and durability. The 9' 4 piece Light Duty, line weights 10-13, incorporates both snake and titanium oxide stripping guides and a cushioned up-locking reel seat. The 8'6" 3 piece Heavy Duty rod, lines 14-17, utilizes aluminum oxide inserts on all guides including the tip-top, a beefy up-locking reel seat and an extended fighting butt. Bluewater rods feature an incredibly distinctive blue granite finish and flor grade cork on the full wells handles and fore grips. A retail price of $249.95 puts the Bluewater within easy reach. All TFO rods feature a lifetime unconditional warranty. Simply return the damaged rod with $25 for shipping and handling, and we will repair or replace your rod. For additional information or the name of you local dealer call Temple Fork Outfitters at: (800) 638-9052 August 31, 2005 New Lefty Kreh Finesse Series The water is small and the trout are sophisticated and selective. More than just presentation is called for..."finesse" is the final ingredient. Relax, take your time, read the water, observe the hatch and treasure the moment, then decide on a pattern. TFO's new Lefty Kreh Finesse Rods are for those who enjoy a slightly slower pace. Lefty Kreh, with help from Ed Jaworowski and Gary & Wanda Taylor, designed a new series of fly rods with a more 'traditional' taper and action. Ed Jaworowski says, "These are the ideal rods for casting smaller dries, terrestrials, and nymphs on meadow streams, limestone creeks, and spring creeks. TFO tailored these rods for smooth, accurate, and delicate presentations, and they roll cast like a dream." The deep translucent olive blank is accentuated by a flor grade reverse half wells grip, an attractive up-locking reel seat with a rosewood insert. The Lefty Kreh Finesse Series is a family of six 4-piece rods, designed for line weights 2 through 5. The only thing better than the feel is the retail price of $179.95. All TFO rods feature our lifetime unconditional warranty. Simply return the damaged rod with $25 for shipping and handling, and we will repair or replace your rod. July 17, 2003 Lefty Kreh Signature Series Our two piece rods now have a beautiful new translucent dark green finish and matte black aluminum reel seats with double uplocking rings. Six weights and lighter feature hook keepers and half-wells grips, while our eight weight and heavier have comfortable fighting butts and full wells grips. Our smooth progressive tapers load fast but have the reserve power for distance and line speed. For less than $100 you can own a rod that will out perform rods costing much more. UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED FOR LIFE. The Titanium Chromium Series Lefty designed this series. Fast, powerful and smooth, they deliver a fly with distance and precision limited only by the angler's skills. Our proprietary use of titanium and chromium dampens shock and helps protect the rod from errant flies. Hardware includes 3 super-hard titanium oxide stripper guides, premium grade cork, matte black finished blanks with silver finishings and logos. Fighting butts are on 6 weights and heavier rods. Each rod comes with a rod sock and each rod weight has unique colored alignment dots. UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED FOR LIFE The Professional Series Now available in delicate two weights through our popular 10, plus our cast-able twelves, these travel rods have taken our reputation to new levels. Previously offered as our Western/ Saltwater/Steelhead Series, we’ve merged them into what Lefty says are the perfect rods for all anglers and skill levels. They have matte black finished blanks and subtle gold logos. Each rod comes with a rod sock so you can add our optional tube or customize your own. UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED FOR LIFE
