Not a UL, but I wanted to share.

My wife's first rod. 9' 4wt TFO Pro II with custom teal wraps from Coastal Creek Outfitters. Mike at Coastal Creek got this rod out to me less than two days before Hurricane Laura decimated his home town of Lake Charles.

I'm not sure how much damage he ended up taking or how long he'll be down, but I'd highly recommend checking out his website if you're in the market for a custom TFO or Sage. I'll likely be reaching out to him within the next few months regarding a Sage X 390-4.

The Pro II is my favorite rod from TFO. That's a beautiful rod and I like the teal colored wrappings.

Thanks everyone. After a few times out, she's told me she very much prefers the Pro II to the Orvis Clearwater she had been practicing with on our previous outings.

She lost her only trout (10" wild rainbow) of our Smoky Mountains trip after her rod tip/line became tangled in an overhanging branch, but she did manage a warpaint shiner. As soon as we get a break from the seemingly constant hurricanes, I'm hoping to get her on one of the local rivers for some spotted bass and sunfish.
