The AETOS is a great rod for the price point too

I have fished the TiCr-X a bunch and really like the rod. The 8 is the right weight, IMO&E, and would be much more useful in general than the 9. There will be a big difference between your 7 and the TFO8. Rick Bin has one and even he has caught fish with it! wink
