Trophy XL - "Royale"
« on: December 18, 2006, 02:58:47 PM »

I was thinking of buying a new Trophy XL "Royale" in a Centrepin. It is 11'3" and rated 8-17lb. I have a chance of getting one at a good price. It will be my "back-up" to my Sages.

Anyone use one of these? I'd like your opinion.

Held one at reaction, they sure do feel good, id buy it as a back up rod for sure. Another good rod is the temple fork cp 3113. Ive tested that one, and its a beuty as well.

Hi John,I did talked to Brain Ford at westcoast tackle. He said the trophy royale is a bit stiffer and  more backbone than the sage 3113mb(brown blank).And it come with lifetime warranty.

stay away from temple fork, they are garbage, more returns on TFO rods than all others combined at hubs

Been fishing the temple fork cp3113 hard for 2 years now, not a worry, I am very impressed with the rod.
Mind you mind is the original brown blank, if that makes a difference. this rod has battled springs and stealhead without a worry.

 any ideas where one can buy a TFO CP-3113?  i have felt the TFO C3113 <baitcasting trigger> and it gets me quite excited, pay day it will be coming home with me. i have felt the trophy xl royale and boy oh boy is she ever stiff. i find it similar to a pool cue with guides, but the question i have is who sells TFO rods? i am wanting to get it local but might have to order it online.

If you really dont want to order online then this should help you as well as I am sure a few of these stores would order in what you are wanting......some very good deals to be had online as well though...just my opinion.

Planning on one of these below as a backup to a sage 3106CT......both baitcaster/trigger types
