RB-
The combo you want to put together is the exact outfit I have for the Tranx and for the same reason. I'm going with the MH to throw the Jr & SR Waxwings.
At present I'm waiting on the rod to come in this week. More on the Waxwings in a bit...
I have a Terez Med 7' w/ Curado 300 EJ and a Terez Med 8' w/ Curado J. Because of the height of the rod the Med 8' is a bit bigger
going into the butt and a slightly heavier outfit. But not noticable enough to induce early fatigue during a long day of casting. Either will handle
what ever bites. Dont be afraid to crank on the fish, these rods can take some punishment and turn some heads in the process. Anyway after doing some mass
research on the tzcwx80h & the tzcwx80mh, I found the 80h is hard to find as it is new to use with the "Daddy" wax wings and not very many people even know its out yet.
However
http://www.mahitackle.com/tzcwx80h.html this is the only link I've found so far (Mahi Tackle) to find that rod. Mahi Tackle stock color selections at present are
Aqua, Emeald, and White. Almost anyone on line has the 80mh.
The "Heavy", as I mentioned, is for the Daddy WW which weighs about 4oz and is 6.5' long. The MH is for the JR weighing 1.5oz, but will easily throw the SR weighing 2.1oz.
The Daddy WWs come in colors that you wont readily find from the Boy to the Sr size. But they are out there in the Sr size if you look. The links below are for the colors I selected

As far as colors go: You're a striper fisher man, I would highly recomend the Bunker and or the Green Shad. I have caught striper on the Green Shad. Other colors out in open water I would
use are: Bone Pink/White & Chartreuse.
Go to melton Tackle online to look at some of the new stuff. They have recently updated their WW page and have the Daddy size in a few select original colors.
Hope this helps
