TFO Blue Ribbon 8’6” 4WT Fly Rod

What Is the TFO Blue Ribbon 8’6” 4WT Best For?

This rod was made for Colorado’s smaller, tighter streams — the Crystal River, upper Frying Pan, and high-country tributaries where overhanging willows and tight bends demand a shorter rod. It’s also a great hopper-dropper rod for summer fishing where short, accurate casts to the bank matter most.

Who Should Buy the TFO Blue Ribbon 8’6” 4WT?

Anglers who fish small Colorado streams and want a dedicated short rod for tight-quarter dry fly and hopper-dropper fishing. A great complement to a longer 9-foot rod. Backed by TFO’s lifetime warranty.
