I'm not sure you will be delighted with the Steez CT for your needs. You will need a big investment.
For your conditions I use Daiva T3 Air or 16 Aldebaran BFS
These narrow-spooled aerial guys are not very designed for long casting and light baits from the start.
IMHO!

Ohh guys.
I ordered myself Megabass TRIZA F0-63XTZ from the Amazon Japan.
I think it will be fun with my new Steez CT.

I have a CZC-652UL / BF, and it is not at all suitable for what you are asking.
This rod will be more suitable for hard baits from 3/16 to 1/2.
What you are looking for, I use Shimano Expride 168L-BFS.

I have 13 Soare CI4 + C2000PGSS.
I use it for trout on a bait and soft silicone with small weight.
I love her.
I think the new one will only get better.

I had 12 ALDEBARAN BFS HG .... got rid of.
I had 50 Aldebaran ... got rid of.
Now,I have 16 Aldebaran BFS HG + 17 Shimano Expride to 3/8.
And I enjoy.
I like this combo for worms and jigs .

Shimano for spinning.
Daiwa for casting.

Matagi TR - 84 Super Chinu ML

Fishing for what you use???

As far as I know, the series is designed for Сorrza hard baits. If you want a universal bait, see a series of Volkey from Major Craft.
Or series VELOCE NEO from Oliympic...

I like rods JDM. I just like that.
