I'm not really trying to be a pr!ck, but as with your previous post

The question is very broad and vague

. I have both TFO (8'0" 4wt - original series 1 and 9'0" 6wt Lefty Kreh Signature) and Fenwick HMXF (8'0" 5wt). They are very comparable rods (although I would give the slight performance edge to the Lefty Kreh Series rod). I bought the Fenwick 7 or 8 years ago, so I am not sure of the current price. but I think it is a more expensive rod. On top of that, TFO gives a lifetime unlimited warranty, while Fenwick only offers a 5 year, limited warranty. That means that if Fenwick decides that you "abused" your rod, they are under no obligation to honour your warranty. (Fenwick would not honour my warranty because my rod was more than 5 years old, even though at the time I purchased it, they offered a lifetime deal). If I was buying today, I would go TFO before Fenwick. Hope this helps.
