This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

So in an effort to make winter go by faster, I've been looking up different rod companies and contemplating which rods I would like to buy in the near future.

Just recently, I have stumbled across "Temple Fork Outfitters", and I am intrigued to say the least. I'm not getting caught up on the fact that they have the Gary Loomis name stamped all over them.

I have read some impressive reviews (on an unmentionable site), on the "Tactical Series" rods they offer.

Does anybody on here have any personal experience with these?

I've heard of them and i've seen the rods in catalogs

As far as I know
When Garry Lommis left G. Lommis after selling it to Shimano
He started building blanks agian. And he sells blanks to TFO

He also sells blanks to Kistsler
And they make the KLX and the Z-Bone on Gary Lommis blank


A company that I've been watching is 13 fishing
There rods get great reviews and now they have started selling reels.
They have that JDM look. It looks like there trying to emulate Megabass rods and reels at a much lower
price point









Team houston

In Brazil they had a few on the boat to use. They handled the Peacock Bass no problem.
