The HoW rods are a few selected from the freshwater rods, re-labeled http://tforods.com/   I don't recall that any of the Fly Rods got the HoW label...

I partied with several of the TFO guys last year.  Definitely some cool stuff going on over there. I'm not sure why they don't show them on the site though.  They're here-and-there online, and a TFO dealer can order them.  IIRC they're around $100 a rod, and $5 goes to HoW... not sure what percentage goes to Korea...

Who is TFO?

My favorite 7'6" 3wt rod!!!

I just bought one of those at Christmas!  I have been practising casting with it and it is a challenge to cast as far as my 5 weight!

If you are used to a fast action rod, it's really time to take a breath and find the zen of casting.  It is so much fun with tiny dry flys and small stream rainbows. I hope to tease a few browns one of these days to find out how much backbone it really has.
