Had a chance to try out Tict Sram EXR 77S-Sis and compare it with Yamaga Blanks Blue Current 77 TZ/ Nano. I think this pair will have me set in the light power department for a while. The two rods have similar lure tests (up to 11 g for the Sram and up to 13 g for the BC), but are very different. Tict is extra fast, with only about the top 1/3 of the rod working the fish, and the solid tip is perfect for animating the lure. The 77 BC has a different and somewhat diverse action. It feels truly fast until a good fish is on, when it behaves like a true moderate and parries sudden runs with ease. The BC is also the one I would use to raise the bigger catch up to the rocks. I will be very hesitant to do that with the Sram. To my surprise, the two are about the same sensitivity-wise and I have not noticed the advantage I was expecting from the Sram. In my current realm, the Sram is perfect for its intended purposes – mackerel, and the BC is excellent for everything else and more. In the end, the BC is a better all-arounder. Luvias 2000S with YGK XBraid Upgrade X4 0.3-0.4 fits perfectly on the Sram, the slightly bigger brother is coming to take its place on the BC with the X8 version of the Upgrade in 0.6. By the way, that Upgrade is a heck of a line. I feel like I struck a gold mine with both YGK and Daiwa's Gekkabijin Tsuki No Hibiki II.
