Does anyone have any experience with the TEXAS TACKLE FACTORY RODS ?
I was looking at the 6-6 red mauler at academy for $90
I'm using Diawa Coastal reel. Any suggestions welcome.

I have two of the older models. Have not bought the new one that is supposed to be lighter and more sensitive. I like both the rods I have and have not had any problems. The rod I like best of all I own are my
Falcon rods.

I too have nothing but good things to say about my 6'6" Falcon medium casting rod. Unfortunately I have not heard so many good things about the TTF line up. I also looked into them not too long ago and a few other folks persuaded me to go with the falcon which is in the same price range that you mentioned. Right around christmas time, TTF was having a buy one get one free deal on their older series. Not sure if that is still being offered but you might want to check it out. Personally I would rather have one piece of equipment I can count on than two that I am unsure of.

I have a Lone Star Coastal Series Rod
LSCS701MLS, Length 7'0" Medium Light Action Spinning, Line Wt: 6 - 12 lbs., Lure Wt: 1/16 - 3/8 oz (red killer) I compared it to the Castaway. It's
a super light weight rod you can throw all day long. I bought it for throwing
light soft plastics in the back water.

the red mauler you are speaking of is two for the price of one at roys for the same price as academy, at least it was last week

While I can't comment on the TTF rods, I have my Diawa Coastal on an All Star Coastal Series "Surf Special", 8ft., medium action. Same price range it seems.
Very light and comfortable.

I have 4 ttf rods. 2 are the Texas series red tamer 1's and 2 are the supreme series that I just bought in November. TTF did have the supreme series rods buy one get one free until the end of December but Roys may still have some or is having a special. I love the rods they feel good, are lightweight and have a good back bone. I talked to the guys over at Tackletown in Rockport and they say they have seen very few rods come back for anything. The Supreme Series rods are a steal at buy one get one free. The TTF website has the tamer 1 buy one get one free for 49.95 as well but that was in January I think.

I also have the Daiwa Coastal magged by Nick and it performess flawlessly. The lightweight reel and rod work well together and you can fish all day with out getting wornout.

I use a ttf coastal series trout killer with my shimano bait caster and it works just fine for me

I use a TTF rod for both trout and jetty fishing. I have been very impressed with it. Reasons:

1. It is great for trout fishing.

2. Using it on the jetties in the winter, it brings in the hearty fish with no
problem.

3. I use a 4300ss Penn spinnign reel on it.

It it ain't broke, don't fix it.
