So who all has placed a order for the new TFO Drift rod? 9', 10', 11' and 12' rod all in one. Jack of all trades but master of none? Kind of a neat ideal where you can fish several different ways and never have to go back to vehicle/camp. rod review by Joe

How does that work? Are there a couple of 1 ft butt sections that you can add in and out as needed? I can't watch the video here at work.

I think there’s a 2 foot and a 1 foot section but idk how I feel about it because have read many reviews on rods like these where it’s OK in the Longer sections but only great at the lowest

It looks pretty neat. Can be a single hand 9’ dry fly ect... Add a section plus counter weight and have a 10’ nymph rod. Add a different section with counter weight and have a 11’3” nymph rod or remove the weight and add the handle and have a Spey rod. Add another section and have a over 12’ Spey rod.
The patented guide is pretty neat also so you can add or remove sections without restringing the line.

It would be cool to demo one for a day or two on a river that had all of the water types its designed for. It probably works/casts well enough for most of us casters. The "pros" out there would probably equate it to something like an interchangeable golf club--it works, but not as good as a dedicated club.
You'd need multiple reels though with different lines. That's why I bought the OPST Commando Head and mono running line, to be able to try some single hand spey and/or be able to chuck heavy flies with ease rather than the awkward casts with a floating line.
