TFO Bug Launcher Fly Rod, Temple Fork Outfitters
BACKORDERED UNTIL OCTOBER
TFO Bug Luancher fly rod is great for inspiring someoney to pick up a fly rod. Chances are it was a parent, your “favorite” uncle or a close friend that helped you throw your first tailing loop with great pride. You probably landed your first fish on a hand-me-down rod with a missing guide and a doctored tip. If it’s time for you to pass your knowledge onto others, Temple Fork Outfitters has the perfect rod to hand down; introducing the TFO Bug Launcher fly rod series.
Bug Launchers include thinner diameter compressed cork grips for a better fit in smaller hands. The yellow Bug Launcher logo stands out against a candy apple red blank. Speaking of blanks, this series is made from general graphite so there’s less risk when that passing dragonfly happens to take a swipe. An extended reel seat allows smaller anglers to use two hands for more control.

Fly Fisherman and Instructor
I have used a lot of different fly rods over the past forty years, some of the best. But this little BL 4/5 seven footer, is one of the best. I use a GPX WF4F. It is the most accurate fly rod I have ever used. As to distance, how about fifty to sixty feet. This little rod is amazing. Well done TFO, well done. Phil Sharpe
