I have the TSAWSS-1002MH Model. It's a great rod, has plenty of backbone to turn fish, after fishing the craziness of IBSP. In some instances I had no choice to get teen size bass almost hydroplaning on the water to avoid tangles. This rod was great on the 30 inch and better fishes.
Casting is a different story. To cast straight I have to compensate by casting to my left. When I first notice this I went home and checked the spine and it was off. It’s a factory rod and a cheap one at that. I picked up 2 years ago for 80 dollars (about). And after casting it every day for about 2 weeks My right Trap (muscle) and shoulder blade area feels like a knot with pain. I’m not sure if it a balancing thing or my casting compensation. that is giving me the pain.
The rod handles 2 to 4 oz well where the 2 to 3 oz is the sweet spot. I’m using a Penn 704z reel with 30 pound Fireline and I’m able to make it over the Bar most times. I like to say I’m casting 250 to 300feet, but I don’t know it could be deceiving in telling how far.
