Always liked T&T. They kinda disappeared or kept a low profile the last 10 yrs or so. But I have two of them. One a 1984 Special Dry Fly 8ft. 4 wgt. Really one of the best casting rods I ever had. Really light dry fly rod...yeah its creamy.
The other is a Classic 7 ft 4wgt bamboo rod. Not sure when it was made but ...yeah it casts goooood.
T&T and Orvis are the only east coast big name rodmakers I know of. I would surely love to get another but they are killer on the wallet. Hope they make it through the awesomeness of the economy ok.

T&T had the new 'SSS' rods also, 9'6" 7 & 8wt. medium action, flexed way down to the cork. The name means - Salmon, Steelhead, Saltwater.
And brand new 4pc. switch rods. I think that their new blank designs are going to bring some pain to the other rod companies.
I cast the 'TnT' 9 & 11wt. (outside) both were nice, but I've got a soft spot for 9wt. rods, especially that one. You could feel that rod load and cast accurately from 25' to 100', the more you got on it the better it cast.

I wanted to but didn't cat the heirloom glass rods. The casting ponds at that show suck!
