Never tried redfly but have a crosswater 6 weight and path 5 weight purchased used.
I've gotten good use out of both and they are okay rods.
The reel seat and cork grip on both rods are standing up better than the cheaper TFO's we have.
I've replaced some snakes guides on both and the "path" needs all new guides and tip top from line wear ( dirty line from bottom of boat and low quality guides) after two seasons.
They don't have as much backbone as same weight TFO but are just as forgiving.
For my money comparable to TFO.
