I certainly would recommend that you take a hard look at the TCB. I have the predecessor TSS from Leland and it does a fine job casting 1/64-1/32. It is made for that. It is a nice value for the price - obviously not top of the line hardware but works just fine. A rod like that will give you a taste of what a JDM rod is like. My TSS all up weight is 8.2 oz and sold me on U/L fishing for pans/crappie. The fun factor is great!
