Welcome and congratulations on your forthcoming TFO Professional 8' 2 weight. As I have had one for 10 years now it is my go to UL fly rod. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. If you can pictures of your scenery and fish would be appreciated.

Kinda seems like a step down in rods, unless the length is the concern

In a way you're right. It is a step down. In lenght amd in quallity too. The current rod is handmade.. but the other side of it is that this rod has a really soft action. Too soft for me. It's almost always windy overhere and i just can't get the line out propperly.. the tfo is stiffer and i can buy a new rod which has guarenty for the price i sell my other one. I'll be saving money to once have an other cts built butt then it will be on a stiffer blank, and maybe in a #1

I sightfish for the carp. If i can spot one or more i try to cast in frint of it and let the fly just sink by it's nose. I use egg patterns or squirmy worm flies for this. The carp in america are more agressive then our ones. Overhere they won't chace a fly.

But i don't fish ul for them.. i use an #8
