I have a TSS and have it paired with a Daiwa Regal 1000s and six pound Varivas braid. With all of my sul rods and ul rods, I use this one when I get into areas where the big folks live. I’ve caught LMB on it up to five lbs and with the micro wave guides and quality braid I have to make a few casts to open water to refresh myself to its casting abilities. It’ll cast a 1/16 a very long way. Even with the 1/32 I use for American and hickory Shad the casting is very good. Sensitivity is also good for when I drag a little BG bug along the bottom, I can feel everything. If I didn’t have too many rods now I would have another.
