Advice needed regarding splitting the TS Destroyer Blackjack up into two rods

Hi all,

I have been fishing the Megabass TS Destroyer Blackjack for a bit longer than a year now and it is a fantastic do it all rod, that I have used for anything from Rats to the Deps 250.

With me getting a bit more experience, I have started to play with the idea to expand my swimbait arsenal and replace the Blackjack with two rods.

First rod would be a rod that would be used for precise casting of rats, DRT TK (potentially K9), HPH and something like a 8" magdraft. Reel would be a 2018 Antares DC with some 20-22lb Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo.

The second rod would be for anything Deps 250 and above, including some larger single hook soft baits. The reel would be a 2023 Shimano Calcutta Conquest 401.

I was thinking to stay in the TS Destroyer line up (I love these rods) and go with a TS Casion and a TS King of Baccarat.

Very interested to hear everybody's (first hand?) thoughts on my idea! If there are any other rod recommendations that I should consider, I am all ears. Just love the looks and quality build of the TS Destroyers.

Thank you all!
