Welcome to the Fish Strong Podcast! Disrupting fishing entertainment as you know it, prepare

to laugh, prepare to get to know fishing legends in a whole new and unfiltered way, and on

occasion, you might even learn a thing or two about fishing. Here are your hosts, Joe

and Luke Simons.

Hello, soft strong fish strong nation. We are back a really special episode here

of the Fish Strong Podcast, and you might be watching this on YouTube or on the Facebook

page. This is one that we thought was really important, it's really unique. And little

backstory, Luke and I were at iCast and we ended up meeting with TFO. A lot of you who

do follow us know that we love TFO. We're not sponsored by them, but we literally, I mean

just love and I don't know how many rods behind you there, Luke or TFO, but I'm guessing

a large number of them are.

Yeah, one of which, there's probably about, I've got a handful, I've been testing out a

bunch, but the TFO one is what I was using with the old balcony, the snook off the balcony

jack.

Oh yeah, I have to lie, I have to lie those rods after that, that was pretty cool.

If you somehow missed Luke catching a snook from the third floor balcony in downtown Tampa,

we'll put that video in the show notes, but we ended up talking to TFO in particular

talking to Frank Paul, who I believe is the president slash CEO, and he gave us like

a rundown on just some really cool parts of what goes into building a rod in the components

and things we learned about quirk. And we're like, man, like hardly anyone knows this kind

of stuff. And it has a big impact on your fishing, obviously the cost of the rod, the longevity

of the rod.
