TFO BVK Fly Rods Product Review
Larry Offner:
I made the trek to Denver, CO this year for the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show. It was my first trip to Denver and my first ever fly fishing event for dealers. The product highlight of the show for me was the new TFO BVK (Bernard Victor Kreh) fly rods.
The new BVK rods are incredible. They are super light, fast action rods that cast like a dream. I would compare the action of the BVKs to that of the TFO Axiom series rods but, they are much, much lighter, as well as more responsive and more sensitive. I took the opportunity to cast the 3 thru 8 weight rods at the show and was impressed with all!
I think this is also the best looking rod in the TFO line-up. The blanks are a translucent olive with a beautiful double up locking, braded, carbon fiber reel seat. They also have REC recoil stripping guides, ultra lightweight chromium-impregnated stainless snake guides and flor grade grips that are comfortably contoured and uniquely contrasted.
The prices of the rods are:
3 wt. thru 6 wt. - $224.95
7 wt. thru 10 wt. - $249.94
The availability of the rod is:
Available the end of September

I’ve already placed my BVK order for Green Trout Fly Shop. I will issue a notification when they arrive. Feel free to drop by the shop for a test cast! Be sure and compare this rod to other light rods that cost $600 or more!
Bob Pool:
You are right Larry, they are a nice looking rod. You say that the action is very fast huh?
Larry Offner:
Fast... not very fast.

I bet a 8 wt outfit is in my future but just made a $2500+ mistake getting IPad that needs a $1500 new Mac to run. I am now a techngoof first class.
Larry Offner:
Hopefully, the BVKs will be in at the end of this week. ;)
