Sweet, Sweet Combo. If the Braillist is anything like the Javelin it will hit a hummingbird in flight at about 40 yards with just a flick of the wrist

Took it out today as it is unusually warm. Casting was excellent with a 3/16oz weight and a craw bait. Excellent sensitivity. Easy to distinguish soft bottom, gravel and rocks. As advertised, the tip can be used to free little snags. I intentionally fished a lake with lots of rip rap on the shore line. No bites, but bite detection should not be an issue based on what I can feel just working the bait. Here is a shot of the tip speed and action:

Nice combo! I really like the look of the xx rods. There is a couple in that lineup I really want to add this year. The braillist will likely be one of them.

A little necromancy on this thread and rod. If you are looking for a 5' weightless senko rod, this should be at the top of the list. It is very reminiscent of my XMG50 7'2" LMB864. That Lami was magic with a 5" weightless senko, and the Braillist is making me smile the same way.

Last necromancy to round this thread out. It is a definite keeper. I got into a wad of them in deeper water off a point last night and the bite detection was on point. Didn't miss a pick up. No issues recommending this rod for tx rigs.
