I just joined here, my first post, but if I had replied earlier my recommendation would've been exactly what you got! I've really come to like TFO Rods, everything about them! I'm fishing one myself and considering trying their new Blue Ribbon series in a 8.5' 4wt? But you made a great choice, and it will do well for bluegills also, no problem!

Most of all, get into fly tying, especially if you're a trout fisherman! I'm 62, fly fished since 1970, and never tried tying until recently after I retired. I love it, gives my fishing an entire new meaning and enjoyment!
