The T.C.B. rod from B/M , I do not have . I was recommended the "elite" rod by a friend that really liked it a lot . I personally have no experience with jigs smaller than 1/32 ,(without a clear float ) or line under 4 lb. test , except vertical jigging . I like the "elite " and I will say it has replaced my Browning "Air Stream " and Okuma " Celio ". For rods under $80.00 these are my favorite , that I own .
