What does XMG LP844 SHINE at?

I'm thinking about the LP844, or possibly LP843. I'm guessing either would be a step up in power from my 5S66MLF. I will buid it micro-spiral and use for larger Senkos and the like.

That blank makes a more than decent baitcasting dropshot rod according to some of my rod borrowers, I use it as a soft tipped spinnerbait rod for the lighter weight lures that work well here in the cleaner waters of the Pacific Northwest. Has the fastest, softest tip to power of all the XMG 50 popping rod blanks. Haven't used it as a topwater rod, but I bet it would work.
People use the IMC 864 blank for Senkos, I use my old DTIMC84M blank..
