TFO Solution Fly Rod

When you need a rod that tackles those days that start at the crack of dawn with a sink tip and an articulated streamer, then move into an indicator rig, followed by an afternoon hatch of small olives, and then wraps up with an evening swinging a team of wet flies, TFO’s all new Solution series of rods offer, well, the perfect solution. A do-it-all family of rods built around performance and versatility, the Solution allows you to cover water efficiently while presenting a wide range of different patterns and fly types. Combining a moderate fast action with a high-modulus graphite blank, the Solution is lightweight and offers super fast recovery, while maintaining the backbone you need to rope heavy fish and deal with inclement weather. Finished off with quality components like REC Guides and a premium grip, in line weights 3 through 8, this ten-rod series has you covered whether chasing small trout in high-elevation streams or picking apart your favorite river for some anadromous salmon. 

Blank 

High-Modulus Graphite - TFO’s Solution Fly Rods have a high-modulus graphite blank that’s dipped in a clear coating. This construction keeps things nice and light while enhancing recovery and accuracy. A versatile and performance-forward blank that’s equally durable, the Solution has everything you need to enjoy those 10-hour shifts. 

Guides

REC Black Pearl Recoil Guides - Some of the best guides on the market, TFO utilizes REC Black Pearl Recoil Guides. These guides spring back should you bend them and also allow your line to shoot without friction. 

Double-Foot Smoke-Anodized Snake Guides - Lightweight, durable, and as smooth as can be, the Double-Foot Smoke-Anodized Snake Guides stand up to rough days as well as they shoot your line across the river to that snout that’s been eating hoppers in an undercut all morning.  

Reel Seat

Up-locking Reel Seat - Made with a dual-uplocking reel seat, the Solution keeps things secure no matter what’s pulling the line. On their 3 through 6 weight models, TFO adds a premium wooden insert that’s as elegant as it is functional; the 7 and 8 weight options have an anodized insert that keeps things lightweight while standing up to tough environments. 

Rod Tube

Packaged in a rod sock with a tube, TFO gives your Solution Rod the perfect place to rest whether it’s in your closet between sessions or sitting in the passenger seat on your favorite rocky road en route to the river. 

Warranty 

As of July 2024, TFO offers a warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship. Should you break or damage your rod due to an accident or typical wear and tear, TFO offers repair or a replacement for a fee. TFO also offers replacement sections at a fee for a faster alternative.
