Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} TFO Axiom Rods

We carry:

BVK – We normally carry 4 thru 6-weights. We don't stock them higher than 6 due to rod scrim choice (hoop strength in the rods). They're great casting rods, but not the best lifting rods for big fish, and can tend to break.
Axiom II – We normally carry 7 thru 10-weights. I have one 7, 9, & 10wt rod on sale due to us not carrying them going forward. Nothing wrong with them - we just decided to go with the updated X rods.
Axiom II-X – We carry 6 thru 10-weights. I only have 7-9 currently.

Thanks,

District Angling carries TFO rods. Have you given them a call? They might have one or the other of the two rods you can cast.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} TFO Axiom Rods

Why the Axiom IIX?

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 3/18 shad report

Had two hours yesterday morning where there was a slow but steady bite. But before and after that nothing. Ended up with ten or so out of my kayak.

I personally don't think wading is a good idea on the Potomac near Fletcher's. Right now the river is low and if you are wading you may get a false sense of security. Over the years i have witnessed the search for people who has drowned above Fletcher's. Stay safe. It's only fishing.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} TFO Axiom Rods

Are you talking about atlantic salmon on dries or great lakes chuck and duck type salmon fishing? If the later I would definitely not recommend the BVK.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} TFO Axiom Rods

I have a BVK in a 9 weight and like it a lot. It really is a great rod but may not fit everyone's casting style. Based on what I am reading I am between another BVK or the Axiom II-x rather than the Axiom II.
