Welcome to the next generation of affordable, high-performance rods designed by the legendary Gary Loomis. This innovative hybrid blanks combine high-modulus carbon fiber (for lightweight sensitivity) and mid-modulus carbon fiber (for durability) to deliver true high-end feel and performance at a price any angler can afford. Superior components are the rule, including stainless steel chromium-impregnated guides with SiC inserts and radically split grips with super-comfortable burl and cork rings. To help anglers better organize their setups and maximize their fishing time, each rod is color-coded by tip action, from the grip split up to the hook keeper. Manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
The TFO Color ID System
Every rod in the Gary Loomis TFO Signature Series is color coded by rod action to help keep you organized while on the water. Throughout the line, Silver always equates to Medium Light, Red to Medium Heavy, and so on. The special coloration appears in the butt section only, from the grip split to the hook keeper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JimStC Nice rod
This my second Temple Fork GF rod. Different action and power. Both rods are exceptional. Good bite sensitivity and sets the hook. Definitely will plan on another.

i would have given this rod 5 if the quark grip was more ergodinamic. after repeted casting with this rod the short gripping surface begins to eritate your hand. for the price i wouldnt recomend it. bionic blade out performs this rod

Rated 5 out of 5 by JP7970 My Favorite Rod
I bought the TFO Gary Loomis Signature 6'6" MH last year and put a Revo SX on it with 50 lb. braid. After several months of use, I can definitely say it is my all-time favorite rod. I have several nice rods (Falcon, St. Croix, Daiwa, etc) and I'll take this one any day over the other, more expensive rods. I recently had another rod break, and oddly was happy, because it gave me an excuse to replace it with another of these. Great sensitivity, balance, feel and strength. I couldn't ask for better overall performance. I highly recommend this rod. Great Loomis design and quality without the "G. Loomis" price.

This rod is very nice and is definitely better than my St. Croix. I hope this price lasts because this is the last rod I'll ever buy, it's fantastic.

It's not graphite it's half carbon fiber and half fiber glass

A:
its carbon wich is stronger and more sensitive so doesnt really matter it will out perform almost any graphite rod in strength and sensitivityDetails:
... and how about these rods for largemouth bass fishing?Answers
A:
They are 1 piece, but I see they do offer a 3-piece travel rod, now. I have the 6'6" MH and use it extensively for largemouth and love it. Recently went on a trip that resulted in several bass over 8 lbs., with the largest being 10 lb. 14 oz., and it handled all of them with ease. Buy it - You'll love it!A:
Yes it is a one piece rod with excellent sensitivity and is a very lightweight product that won't wear you down during a full day's fishing.A:
1 piece good rodA:
1 piece, and I use mine primarily for largemouth. Although, recently Northern have moved into some of my bass holes. No problems with those and this rod.A:
One piece and yes, they're great for bass and stripers.
A:
They are 1 piece rods, great for bass fishing. strong ,sensitive ,lightweight and right size to fit all your needs. From flipping&pitching to throwing frogs with the longer rods. Spinnerbaits and topwater on the shorter rods.Good luck fishing..A:
1 piece. Haven't had a chance to really fish with it yet but seems to be really sensitive.

yes this one is one piece hence the read lettering stating it was one piece. yes these are good bass rodsDetails:
I want a rod that can cast light lures like 1/4 ounce, but can also fish heavy stuff like 3/8 to 1/2. Which one is the best? I was thinking 6 foot 6 medium or 6 foot 6 medium heavy. Thanks!
Answers
A:
6"6 mh or 7" mhA:
Depends on your reel...I like a 7 foot rod medium to medium heavy with my baitcaster for fishing with 3/8 and higher. It will do fine with 1/4 ounce lures and jigs; just a bit shorter casting distances. If you are using a spinning reel, 6 1/2-7 works well also.A:
i have 7 ft mh and i love it great for worm fishingA:
I have been able to cast 1/4 to 1/2 oz lures on my medium action, 7' casting rod with no issues. I don't know that I would go any stiffer than medium with a 1/4 oz lure. I seem to have a little more difficulty getting the lighter lures out there with my MH casting rods.A:
Stick with rods rated for 1/4 to 3/4 or 1/4 to 1 ounce lures...A:
I use the 6'6'' med-heavy( red) and find it covers a whole list of bassing needs. I can comfortably throw crankbaits, jigs, and spinnerbaits as well as soft plastic jerk baits( no finesse on this rod) etc.in the weights you described. I use Power Pro with a fluoro leader of 3-4 ft and love how this rod performs. Hope this helps you as an all around rod.A:
6'6" rod med or med heavy will work great but try getting one with a fast tip faster the tip easier it is to cast light lures so when looking at rods look for tip action too.A:
7'6" Medium Baitcaster works well for me.Will cast 1/4 to 3/4 oz lures. The TFO rod designed G. Loomis is excellent.
A:
bud i am not a huge fan of Abu Garcia and the names of thier new rods are kinda cheesy but the vendetta at 79.00 is a really good rod. i fish a nrx 450.00 and carrot stix 150.00 i own a falcon bucoo and an x factor at 150.00 and pound for pound the vendetta (i have a 6'6" caster MH and a 7' Mh spinner for cranks) is a go to rod for grunt work. handles heavier baits with no problems. some rods in MH feel whippier than others but the vendetta is a little to the stiffer side so i can throw spinners jigs and my favorite tx rigged worms all with no problems. Hope this helps with your decision

A:
medium action should usually cast up to 5/8 ounce baits! mh action usually starts at 3/8. depending on what kind of cover youll be fishing is what you should be looking at. i always have atleast 9-10 rods with different actions and reel gear ratios to match what i want to throw. personaly i would buy a 7ft mh rod,this should cover flippin pitchin and alot of finess techniques but not all! do your research and match it with your personal style of fishing1 of 1
