Outstanding write up. There is really no standard weight to use when doing bending curves.....just don’t want to stress out the rod and break one. Posts like this help someone to figure out rigidity of the rod......how fast a tip the rod has. Had you had an area trout rod it would been below the TSS rod. Interesting analysis on the sensitivity. I agree with your assessment. What I have found in the high end Ajing....Mebaru......and the high graphite content area trout rods.....they all are extremely sensitive. But it seems to me that sensitivity comes across in different ways. Each rod has a unique “feel” when a fish hits. Since acquiring the Graphiteleader rods, and the TenRyu Lunakia I had initially thought unless the rod was actually “Made in Japan” I wouldn’t buy any more that were not. After much thought I have changed my thinking on that. It is because of the Tict Rods. They are extremely sensitive rods and while their fit and finish is not up to the Graphiteleader rods they are certainly at the top of the list for fishability and fun factor. My curiosity is still peaked by the Abu Garcia Eradicator Real Finesse hybrid light game rods....especially the Slow Taper Special models. Just for information purposes the TSS rod will be made and sold by B’n’M in 2020. It will be virtually same rod but it will not have the Microwave Guides on it. It will be marketed as Leland’s TCB rod...meaning Trout-Crappie-Bluegill.
