I just checked the TFO site and the TiCr-X 8 weight comes in two different lengths.
7' 6" and a 9' model.
Now, I have the 7' 6" model which I purchased for Campeche and Baby Tarpon this coming summer. I got it for the tight areas in the mangrove forests that the infants like to hide.
I have not fished it yet but have done a fare amount of practice casting with it and can tell you that it is a rocket launcher. The loops are tighter than the normal longer rods can carry and I am sure that you will enjoy the rod if this is the model you have.
