TFO Professional Series VS Tactical Inshore [Spinning Rod Comparison]

What is the difference between the TFO Professional VS Tactical Inshore fishing rods?
We get this question a lot and we had the chance to address it last week at iCast!
Get the TFO Professional Series Rod: bit.ly/3BjHSua
Get the TFO Tactical Inshore Series Rod: bit.ly/3bagPXG
At the end of the day, both of these fishing rods are excellent and will catch you a ton of fish.
Both of these rods will perform very similar to one another in application and when the rod is actually loaded on a fish.
We’ve been fishing using TFO rods for years because they know rod construction and are proven to handle BIG inshore fish.

Just bought two professional series and absolutely love them. Sensitive and feels great in the hand.

[@Saltstrong]

Sweet!

[@RCSTILE]

In other words the inshore tactical rod is a light weight salt water rod .That's the reason for the much longer butt section, faster action and the harder more corrosion resistant guides.

[@Saltstrong]

Great analysis!

[@thomaswetherington6683]

Great comparison! Thanks for the explanation and video Salt Strong!

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you liked it!

Thanks Justin! Always enjoy your tackle breakdowns. I love the TFO inshore rod and the blue is amazing. Also, was there a Guy Harvey sighting in this video? Haha

[@tolpacourt]

I bought an original blue, tactical inshore in 2018 or whenever it first dropped and it's been a superb striper rod up here in the northeast.

Thanks!

Great review Justin!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks!

Perfect timing I was just deciding between these but they’re rarely in stock..

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for checking it out!

Good review Justin! The short length for kayaks, the hook keeper for hoss and owner hooks is very nice and could be a deal breaker for the TAC if other things are equal. The weedless hook keeper saves resetting your plastics to go thru the little hole, also safer if I grab the rod in a hurry and catch the exposed hook. We are very happy with our two TFO pro rods. Would consider changing the hook keeper? Are both made in china? We would prefer to buy local made rods even if they cost more from Florida suppliers. Seeya soon

[@Saltstrong]

Both of these TFO rods are now made in China. We can't control what type of keepers they put on their rods nor where they made them, but I am pleased to report that we are making a rod blank in the USA that will have an even better weedless lure keeper than the TFO Pro... it'll be coming out in September.

I wish I could have been at I cast I hope to go next year I have always wanted to go to I cast I love the both rods there beautiful

[@Saltstrong]

It is always a great time!

[@tolpacourt]

'Modulus' is something I need to understand. I'm not an engineer and don't understand physics very well.

[@Vermonstered]

Making it really simple, higher modulus is lighter weight but less durable than the lower modulus material. You can basically create the same exact flex profile in a rod with different modulus fibers but the weight and resistance to cracking/damage will be different.

[@Saltstrong]

Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.

Butt to tip lol. Im a child. Thanks for the content

[@Saltstrong]

Glad we could help!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I'll use my Ugly Stiks.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonphillips1380]

I'll never buy another rod without the weed less hook keeper

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback!
