There are a lot of decent rods in the value market now with most of them belonging to Abu Garcia IMO. I got a Vendetta because I really liked the feel of it and I really like fishing it, the TFO rod my buddy has feels clumsy and cheap to me, and I like to find the good in all products regardless of price point but the TFO rod didn't give me any reason to consider trying one.maybe they'll introduce a better offering in the future but for now I'm not sold.

the tfo rods are just poor. they should be priced at half of what they're listing. mojo, veritas, and honeycombs are among the top in the $100 price range.

I checked these rods out down at the Concord, NC BP. A couple of things, they felt tip heavy, heavy overall (compared to Veritas and Carbonlite for the same price), and did not like the non exposed reel seat. I think for the money you can do better, IMHO.
