I'm looking for feedback on these rods. I'm especially interested in the TS77x "Casino". What are you using it for and what are it's strengths?

I had the Baccarat, sold it off. I use the Blackjack quite extensively. What would you like to know? unfortunately I do not have experience with the Casino.

I will elaborate,
Liked the Baccarat. I wanted to be a big bad swimbait thrower just wasn't my thing didn't have the patience for it or the endurance. Mainly I used the Baccarat for throwing deps 250s. Did that for a few seasons and just got tired of it mainly. I used to throw the ROF 12 8 inch huddleston's when I wanted to throw bottom bouncing baits along with BB Thumpers. I would say the sensitivities are really good for what they were big old sticks. I didn't try much else on the Baccarat before letting her go.
Now I love the blackjack. Right now I have it T rigged up with an ounce and a half tungsten weight with a BPS 6" speed shad on a trokar 7/0 screw lock. I'm throwing it with my 301 Curado on 20lb p-line cxx monofilament. I like the length and the handle length better than the Baccarat. I also like the weight range I feel like I can do a lot of different things and go over the recommended weight range as well as I used to throw those Butch Brown Thumper tails and ROF 12 huddz on her. I believe that stretching the weight range though but I felt pretty comfortable going around 5 oz ish mark. I throw a lot of my big wooden 2-ounce lures on there along with my lot of my Rich Caro lures, 10XD, magtopwaters, glides etc. I love the bullshooter 160 in the Black jack! The one thing I wish you could do is have an offset handle. I think the Blackjack is one hell of a stick I took it with me to Kauai but couldn't get any of the Giant Travallies to bite
Hope that helps now as far as build it is an amazing build the x-wrap is super sweet on the rods as well as the double footed guides, super awesome build!!
