Can anyone give me a direct comparison between the ST Croix Premier 8'6 (2-6 oz) and the TI 8'6 rod rated for similar lures.

Also the Premier 8'6 4-10 oz vs the comparable TI rod?

Also the Slingblade 8'6 vs comparable TI rod
And the Big Nasty 9'0 vs comparable TI rod
And the Big Dawg 9'0 vs comparable TI rod

When I tried the Okuma 9'3 XH last summer it felt SO heavy compared to my ST Croixs it was a deal breaker.

Wonder if the TI rods feel that way?

Thanks guys--thats what I was looking for,

The next question that is begging to be asked----How do these rods stack up in a direct comparison by those who have used both rods----I know thats a lot to ask.

But would make for some interesting reading.
