Anyone using a MC Triple Cross in the Rockfish version?
Recently I wanted a JDM rod in my arsenal for 6lb test since I sometimes throw 3.5grams (1/8oz) jigs, plastic swimbaits and small jerkbaits for large trout and bass in deeper water. I ordered some Megabass finesse rods but sadly they never arrived due to the Covid 19 debacle. Asian Portal recently issued me a refund so I ordered a MC Triple Cross Rockfish (Mebaru) TCX-T762L with a line rating of 1lb-6lb and a Daiwa Caldia LT 2500 XH reel.

I was torn between this rod and the next model up, the TCX-762ML 762ML with a higher line rating of 2lb-8lb.
Should I have went with the heavier T762ML rod instead? I figured the T762L would be more sensitive and the sweetspot for casting 3.5 grams however 6lb test is its upper limit. Probably will use 6lb Vicious Hi Viz since it has a small diameter for its rating.
For lighter jigs I fish mostly nylon coploymers in 3lb & 4lb test with my JDM rods for trout. Larger wild trout in the streams like to use aerial acrobatics and violent head shaking so the stretch of nylon seems to help. Rarely do I suffer breakoffs and I keep my drag loose. A local guide who targets big trout uses nylon lines just for this reason.
