!! you work for them ,,,hardly going to say its crap then are you :roll1::roll1:..i personally have no idea about tfgear ,,but its an open opinion post and the op wants peoples thoughts i should imagine , maybe im wrong ? or maybe the op could be a bit more precise if hes after something in particular :thumbs:

 

I have a tf gear reel, nice reel,not top notch but good budget reel ( was free with mag subs) the arm has started to corrode on surface after 5 months but other than that can't fault it yet, was going to buy the competition holdall next!

 

Why does everyone jump on the bandwagon and rip out tfgear? What is "really" wrong with it in your opinion?

 

Not doing your brand or employers any good fella....I'd bite ur tongue.

 

I use the TFG Delta's, find them exceptionally good rods for the money, keeps my Centurys in the Cupboard most of the time. Oh and I use the Smag 65 as well, haven't found any faults with them either

have i missed something ? ,,seems youve asked a question in your reply !! no ones made a bad comment yet ..bizare

 

Only tfg gear I have any experience of is their boots and their bib and brace. Both bought for me for Christmas. The boots although claimed to be waterproof leaked after stepping I'm a puddle on the way to my mark. The bib and brace let water in after a wave washed over the rocks. I may have well had cotton trousers on. The worst bit of tfg is their so called customer service. It dosn't exist!! That's all I'll say about em. Will never ever touch their stuff again!!!!

Don't know mate will let you know tomorrow going to wear the boots for the first time. after the wash down on the boat they will get a good soaking.Got them for Xmas

 

The boots are 100% waterproof from the bottom of the sole up until were the tounge joins! After that they aint! Its the same with all boots! Its common sense really but alot of people think 100% waterproof is the entire boot! Its only the sole to the joining of the tounge! Hope this settles any debates on the matter.

 

I have a TFG Delta beach rod 13' and it is excellent for clear ground beach fishing. Just ordered another.

 

Right lets get this right before the witch hunt starts on the boots! They are 100% waterproof from the bottom of the sole up until were the tounge joins! After that they aint! Its the same with all boots! Its common sense really but alot of people think 100% waterproof is the entire boot! Its only the sole to the joining of the tounge! Hope this settles any debates on the matter. Not having a pop at anyone but thought id just say before hand.

Similar response I got on the phone.was it you I talked to after swearing at my mrs? Shame they leaked where the sole joins the upper. If I was you I'd refrain from trying to defend tfg on here because you are not very good at customer relations.

 

I sometimes deal with customers relations and when I do I try to give out the best information the customer wants and more. Mainly I deal with new products, order's and ts inquiries. I get alot of customers swearing at there wives mainly because they bought the wrong line or wrong size jackets.

 

If one of my employees were online, talking to my customers and potential customers in this manner I'd be mighty ****ed...honestly RRG you are not doing TF or yourself any favours here.

 

I have the bib and brace and coat, i have no complain very good gear, i was out in in the bitter cold frost :cold::cold: and i was snug as a bug in a rug :sun:

 

I got a 14ft delta rod,akios multi and some thermotex wellies from tfg last year everything arrived when they said it would and i think its great value for money.the boots although are not easy to get on or off due to the thermal lining are the warmest ive ever had

 

Not bad gear bearing in mind the price point not the best but not the worst by any means as with most makes some good stuff and some not so .

 

I don't own any of their stuff myself but threads like this are good so you know how good some of their gear is and how rubbish some of their other stuff is. If RRG works for them then this should be brilliant for him to get some honest feedback straight from the angler so he can put forward what they need to improve on and also what the customer is praising. I wouldn't go on the defensive as I think he may be but take it on the chin and listen as it's not all bad news as with a lot of brands, some of their gear is good and some will get criticism as with all things.

any jobs going rumpy down this way ?? can tellem to get stuffed very politely

is their rods genuine nano, are the tips full carbon or some glass, could we have some specs please

 

I have a pair of the boots and have used them for over a year. My thoughts are simple, waterproof they are not in the slightest. I always end up with wet socks after a session. Comfortable they most definitely are and I have put some miles on them. So why do I use them you may ask, simple they are incredibly warm. One session was -6 all day, the boots got wet but at no point were my feet cold. I don't like wellies as they are uncomfortable IMHO so I wear boots which when you spend a session cleaning you hands in the sea or returning fish, you are eventually get a wave over the top of your boots. So to finish I will be wearing them until they wear out!

 

Sorry, nothing doing your way Matt....

You did well getting that reel I subscribed to Sea Angler in December and still waiting for reel to arrive had some good arguments with them so far they reckon now they were over subscribed and don't have enough reels to go round !!!!!!! But they reckon got some more on order I can see some more arguments coming on this

Anyone else had this problem

 

I got 2 of the tf gear distance reels, v8's 6000 & 8000. Haven't had them long and so far so good, wangs the lead out & smooth retrieve, a pleasure to use but time will tell if it can take stick or not

 

I also had a pair of tfg boots.They was waterproof as advertised but after 13 months that equated to 20sessions the eyelets started to rot and 1by1 they snapped off.Cheap yes nasty yes.

 

Got the delta 14 foot. Lovely rod. Amazing value!
