Hey Jay, the Teeny rods are very nice. The TiCR X is the fastest, then TiCR, then the Teeny. It is a little faster than the Pro series. I think the tip is more sensitive, and is great for nymphing and was designed as a salmon/steelhead rod. I think it has a very nice reel seat and I like the ferrules and the color is also my favorite, british racing green. I have one in the 8wt and this 5wt. I have tried the others, but kept these two models. I think you would enjoy the 10wt. What is so nice about the TFO rods is the consistency you get in each line. Each Teeny rod feels like every other rod, just one line wt heavier or lighter. I have many 8wts and this rod is a nice blend of power and sensitivity. You should give it a try. Good luck, Don.
