The Temple Fork Outfitters Blue Ribbon Fly Rod is built for anglers who want effortless casting performance across a wide range of freshwater situations. Its responsive design loads quickly with minimal back cast, letting you deliver accurate drifts, roll casts, or bank shots with little effort, whether you're fishing multi-fly rigs from a drift boat or presenting baitfish patterns all day.

Premium cork grips provide comfort through long days on the water, while the up-locking solid brushed aluminum reel seats with carbon fiber inserts add secure reel attachment and include an integrated hook keeper. Each rod is outfitted with SiC stripping guides and ultra-lightweight chromium-impregnated stainless-steel snake guides to keep line management smooth and efficient. With TFO's color-coded line weight ID system and alignment dots for easy setup, plus a labeled rod sock and protective rod tube for storage and transport, the Blue Ribbon series delivers reliable, high-performing versatility cast after cast.
