Maybe, you can provide your opinion now that the time has passed and you've been in possession of both?

Thanks.
I own both....two completely different rods. The BC is light as a feather....smaller butt....tubular rod. The 65 Truzer is a beast of a rod. Don’t remember the weight of the Truzer but considerably heavier than the BC TZ. Im glad I bought the Truzer and enjoyed using it...and will still use it....but the BC TZ is a superior rod. After going down this road and coming to some understanding of what these specie specific rods are used for you can see where both would perform their intended purpose very well. But using these 2 rods as we would they are just not the same. The BC TZ excels at ripping a Trout Magnet for trout.....very sensitive and gives you a lot of fun on smaller trout. The Truzer is sensitive.....but no fun factor really on smaller trout. I have used the Truzer to throw pretty large cranks for brown trout and had a ball catching them. The only cranks I ever used with the BC TZ were tiny 2-3 inch range. Both rods can certainly handle bigger fish but the lure ratings are very different. Truzer up to 12 grams and the BC TZ top end is 5 gram. The BC is the better rod in the end. As they say hind sight is twenty twenty. Now after owning different brands of Ajing rods...not to mention Ajing rods of different technologies....you get a sense of how advancement in blank technology advances the rod. The 2 Graphiteleader rods I own are head and shoulders above the Truzer. Yet in many ways the BC TZ can still hold its own with them.....very much so in the sensitivity department. It seems....for now anyway.....Major Craft is bowing out of the high end light game market....and also high end trout rod market. I’m really looking forward to the next year or so and adding some super high end rods from Ever Green and Graphiteleader. In the end though these high end rods all of us currently own are simply off the charts good. This was long winded but I get carried away in discussing these rods.
