TFO Rods
The goal at TFO Rods is to provide anglers with tools properly fit to meet their needs, designed to last a lifetime, but won’t empty their pocketbooks. And for more than two decades this idea has led TFO to design fishing rods recognized for optimizing the balance between performance and price by focusing on high end performance, sophisticated and elegant designs, and no unnecessary accouterments that add expense and cost.
Their manufacturing capabilities allow TFO to provide the only full lifetime warranty in the fishing industry, as well as exceptional service and repair of their products. TFO anglers have complete confidence that if a TFO product is broken for any reason, there’s a solution to get them back on the water quickly and without hassles.
