While I will agree that a T&T is a sweet rod, I am guess Price is an issue. With the Light Presentation being one of the lower Priced rods still running close to $600.
I have Winston LT, JWF, Orvis T3, Zero Gravity and many more Orvis, Sage SLT and the LL, plus newer Upper end Bamboo and custom Glass, I can say I do have the TFO Professional 10' 5wt. I wanted a 10 foot rod in the lighter weight and thought about the Sage, but with a $600+ price tag I wanted to feel it first and no one had it.
I had my mind set on the St Croix, but then had the chance to feel the Pro.
I personally like a slower to mid action as you can tell from half my list.
The Pro felt perfect. But when I was told the price and the fact a full warranty....welll.....WAHOO! Bonus!
So my answer is, they are a nice rod. But I would also like to mention in around the same price range, a SAGE LAUNCH which is made right here in the US of A, and still has Sages wonderful warranty.
The cork and hardware on the Pro are not the greatest, but it is still worth a feel.
