Just picked up the Majorcraft Triple Cross Ajing in the 7.3 length, Tubular Tip.

I have the solid tip in the same length and action, and love it for Gill fishing with a float. That GA Tech dude reported that he has been dock shooting with the 6.8 tubular tip, so I have been contemplating the tubular tip for awhile and finally caught the 7.3 on sale. For 115 to my door I figured I could learn to shoot with the extra length. Well today it got loaded up with the Luvias and 4lb Yellow Unitaka braid with a FC leader and fired a few shots. Now I have been shooting with the Olympic Graphiteleader Corto in the 7.4, so the learning curve was short for sure. When you shake the two rods side by side, the TC is a little more limber and it loaded the 1/32 jig perfectly. A great shooter it is, I whacked several with it quickly this morning on the first dock I came to. So a test was in order, back and forth between my two weapons I hit about 12 Specks, and found the TC to be the better shooter, but the Corto is more sensitive to the subtle bites while the jig was falling through the water column. Now this is to be expected, the blank on the Corto is a great blank, well worth the money for bite detection and overall feedback. For big fish honors, the Corto got the win today.

A nice White around the 13in mark. The TC will be my number one dock shooter for the rest of the Summer, I really like the way it handles. After one trip today, it got slimed up nicely, as did all the others. Broke him in right I did, and a good cleaning will follow this afternoon.

Several on here have the TC in various lengths, it is a great all around rod that will also fire a jig well under a dock.
