I have a Major Craft Trapaa 632 Ultra Light that I really like. The rod is very light weight and the 2nd most sensitive rod I have ever had in my hands. This is my favorite spinning rod for throwing light weight jigs for bream with 2 lb SOS line. This rod can probably be picked up for about $70.00. I have a heavier Major Craft SpeedStyle that I use for bass fishing and it is the most sensitive rod I have had my hands on. Now these are both JDM rods if you want more info there is a great JDM rod thread under the Bream Forum here on the board and Alphahawk (Trout Magnet Man) has some great reviews on Youtube. This thread on the forum can lighten your wallet in a hurry. Now this being said I have the Trout Slayer Series from Trout Magnet and the Okuma on my list of rods that I want to get my hands on now. There has to be a stopping point somewhere. (addicted tackle junkie)

I want to try a t.c.b from B/M however Leland lures still has the promo type of this rod for less cash . Anybody know differences between these two rods ? I currently use a Browning "Air stream " And a Okuma "Cellio". Both are decent rods for the buck .

What's the name of the Leland rod that you are talking about.
My go to rod is the 8' duck commander by B&M. It is built on a jigging platform so the top eye is a little small for casting and I wish it was 7' for easier dock/tree shooting but my confidence is high with it.
Crazy thing is B&M quit making the 8ft.
And I love Ugly Sticks for my wife/ kids. They ain't managed to break one yet. I got em in several lengths for 20-30 dollars apiece.

My wife is the one that can better explain this concept! But this is something we don't seem to see eye to eye on.

Here's a life hack I came up with that other kayak anglers might be interested in. Sit on top kayaks aren't effected as much, but sit in side kayaks make it difficult to cast with a rod having a long handle (you end up holding your arms out in front of you retrieving jigs).
Most rods I use have a graphite core through the handle. I cut the handle off about 2" from the bottom. Then make a second cut depending on how much I need to shorten the rod handle. I then thread a set screw into the rod portion with glue. Once the glue dries I do the same with the end piece.

Niice Hack! Some manufacturers are starting to make the shorter rod handles especially for kayaks. I don't have this problem too much with my UL rods but I do face it on my bass rods so I may have to consider doing this to one or 2 of them.
