How it's Made | TFO Conventional Rods

[@nicolasbazan5038]

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

I'm happy that tfo rods are made in South Korea rather than some other countries where democracy isn't valued and human rights are not respected. Yes, it's more expensive but every American corporation should strive to help democracies succeed by giving them their business and educating consumers to understand the bottom line isn't the only factor to consider when making purchases. Thanks for this fun tour.

[@realjeffgarrett]

I felt the same way. After watching this, I bought a trout-panfish series rod. When it arrived to me it had “Made in China” stuck to the handle. It bummed me out

[@Orlosthedruid]

Having lived in Korea for some time, I know that the people...are wonderful, good hearted folks.

[@johnfontenot7861]

Seeing these rods made by hand with such craftsmanship is amazing , I cant wait to get mine!

[@johnfontenot7861]

Kinda deceptive, my rod says made in china 😒 but i like it.

[@ETuss713]

@@johnfontenot7861 maybe a fly rod or two is made in Korea, but every TFO rod I've seen is chineses made. There's actually Texas rod companies making rods in Texas, unlike TFO. Kistler, Old 18, Waterloo, Sarge, Laguna....

[@johnfontenot7861]

@@ETuss713 i know, when i got mine i was very disappointed to see made in china on it🤬, i like St Croix rods , made in USA, but i will checkout some of those TX made rods!

[@johnmiller4282]

Just ordered one yesterday for inshore kayak fishing. The attention to detail I just watched makes me feel good about my purchase

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Hope you enjoy it! We appreciate your support!

[@walter992]

I love my TFO's. Highly under rated.

[@diggy561]

Great video. Looks like a lot of care goes into building the rods. You have a new customer.

[@racrx7]

Love ALL my TFO rods!

[@bassiclogic]

I purchased a TFG PSS 764-1 based on the Salt Strong review. I have to say they are the best rods out there for the money! I love the distance and accuracy they cast on a light lure.

[@paulernandez5382]

I have TFO fly rods and love them! I have designed an 8'6" fly rod for Lefty some years back (and still have one) I went on with Lamiglas pro staff and design, now I'm flying solo ....Hmmm, very nice video of the plant, they do the same process there as we do here in the USA, nice and clean plant and well organized. thank you for the tour!

[@MTsubfly]

This is quite the process. They are doing a fantastic job. I wish it was performed in the USA, But its great to see that these folks and their families are being supported.

[@matthewb8229]

I have a TFP Lefy Kreh Signature 8wt. Used it for Northernn Pike, Carp, and some ocean fish. Love the way it casts.

[@christopher-ace-azevedo5509]

Just bought my 8'6 Bluwater 16+ for sail fishing, cant wait for South America this year! I will use it for giant tarpon and Florida sharks also. Cant wait for my next TFO purchase!

[@snakesurfcustomfishingrods5821]

Great rods and great blanks. I have caught more fish on my fly rods from TFO blanks than any other brand. Thanks for the insight into the TFO family.

[@brianfleury5935]

The warehouse guys in Texas are great. Very cool video.

[@mattiasandersson2315]

I'm surprised that it's so much handicraft to build each blank. I though it would be more machines involved. Nice to see skilled artists at work 😃, gotta get me a tfo rod 🤘

[@ohagen6454]

Just ordered mine! Thank you!

[@Dave30867]

Thank You mr kim make very good fishing rod for me im so happy with my TFO rod 😊👍

[@garymccraw1466]

I have a TFO Fly Rod and Reel it's the Reel Recovery Rod. I love it one of the best fly rods i own

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Thats a great rod! Glad you are enjoying it, Gary!

[@FFFOutdoor]

I have TFO fly rods from the dainty 3wt to the mighty 14wt. And also a spinning rod. Absolutely love the rod build quality and rod strength... Thanks for sharing the build process

[@C.Adams82]

Alot of secrets but that's why the best rods on the market, at least their bass fishing rods, that's all I use. The action in relation to the power is what drew me to TFO rods. They are very technique specific instead of a one size fits all.

[@ryajsmit]

Traveler 7 spinning,panfish 2 6’6” 3p. Also a tactical inshore 6’10 cast and looking to get more Amazing rods.

[@Pesca_inusual]

Mucha pesca a todos. Vamos!👍

[@sokhanoun6240]

I would buy the default rods lol all the good hard work is already done lol little defect would save me money too lol

[@davboston]

I’m trying to decide between a tfo rod and a st croix rod. St croix has a reputation but reviews on there rods seem to be mixed these days. Watching this video I’m liking tfo.

[@raffles88888]

Cool video

[@YTBEN1045]

I have 4 TFO salmon rods and a trout rod. I love these rods!!!

[@mastelo902]

Nice nama bahanya apa mr

[@Blackbird-jg5hi]

Received my Trout and Panfish UL rod and was disappointed to find a "Made in China" sticker on the handle. One reason I went forward with purchasing was this video, thinking your rods were manufactured in South Korea. Care to explain?

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

All of our conventional and fly rods are designed by BJ and his crew in South Korea. Due to demand, some of our conventional rods are being made in China. BJ 's designs and processes for these rods are still being used in the China factory. Same rod, same process, just a different location.

[@Blackbird-jg5hi]

@@TempleForkOutfitters Thanks for the explanation and apologies if my comment was a bit snarky. Took the rod out to the pond already, and I'm happy with it. Cheers!

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

@@Blackbird-jg5hi No worries! Glad you're enjoying the rod!

how much just blank ?

[@pault5947]

So pretty much the same as any other rod factory.

[@jimelmore9728]

I have a 9 wt TFO fly rod. It’s a pleasure to just hold, much less fish with.

Koreans make good product

[@ETuss713]

TFO still using Korea? .ost TFO rods I see are Chinese made. Why not do this in the USA?

[@bovice1766]

They outsourced because it's cheaper and the rods are shit now

[@KaranYadav-qt9qf]

One road price Indian price

[@sohidolla1111]

ok

[@realjeffgarrett]

Y’all should take this video down. When I watched this video, I was very happy to find your rods were made in South Korea as opposed to China. It gave me a good feeling about the brand. So much so that I invested in a trout-panfish rod. Unfortunately when it arrived it had “Made in China” stuck to the cork. Very disappointing for me as I try hard not to buy anything Made in China

[@rebeccacooksey112]

Funnh how they dont show you a factory in the us making fishing rods because they are rods that are so fat and heavy you might as well use a broomstick it's only took the usa fishing scene years and years to start using the fishing rod the hole world is uses

[@wespuckdog3897]

I own 20 flyrods, from 3wt. to 11wt. by different manufacturers and the TFO is by far the worse rod I own.

[@rebeccacooksey112]

It would be my friend they are crap the eye placement it out of sink with the rods action or are you in the usa and so used to using a fiberglass rod like you yanks use I use a match rod for fly fishing a really soft action 13 foot in length and it can still cast 2 and half ox weight if needs be

[@michaelchiappetta3453]

Wes Puckdog shit I just got a tfo. I’m new to the fly fishing I thought they were decent rods: should I return it or you think I’ll be good for my first year? Looking for stripers with itn

This is not How It’s Made.

[@travismorrison2567]

Same as any other rod ain't see nothing special for the price

[@shawnross5850]

interesting but the narrator was painful.

[@steveevans424]

NO thanks, I prefer USA people working USA job making USA products

[@rudyruiz9521]

I do too, but TFO is a great company. If it was made here it would cost 2x as much at least. It's just not realistic. I prefer American products but the cost is still a factor. I am all for bringing back manufacturing, without the unions.

[@Flymanjankons]

Steve Evans can I borrow $700-1500 then for an American made rod. I love Winston’s if you’d be so kind.

[@danielrichardson3920]

@@rudyruiz9521 Totally agree with this. Also, BJ is the man, and his shop looks like a great place to work. I know the cameras are rolling but he seems legit. I don't care where my gear is made, if it is made with this much care. TFO rocks

[@aurelianobuendia5360]

I guess you are disturbed by the stamp Made in China on your iphone :DDDD.

[@jamescabarr2921]

Most companies likes to outsource jobs to save labor cost and bringing it back here for big profits. If those rods were made here, they probably cost up to five hundreds to a thousands.

[@hmoob-dab-tsi7572]

Quality control on the panfish rods are terrible. Hit or missed

[@realjeffgarrett]

Did you get a bad one? What was wrong with it? I got one recently and the only thing I found wrong with it is that it was Made in China
