Can anyone recommend a Samurai Reaction for barra fishing?

They have the Reaction rods on sale at Motackle for $349 at the moment! Thought id cash in on that and grab one. I have seen a few good reviews on them on here.
Im not sure to whether to get one to match a Stella 4000SW or my baitcaster ABU Revo Premium.
Thinking of getting a longer one , maybe around the 6'6" for the stella for flicking lures around to get the extra distance. They have the nice 7' 302 + the 302-2 rods that are in the right weight range.
And their 5'6" 12-16lb baitcaster rod SRB382 looks perfect for the ABU. Tossing up between that or the G Loomis CR721IMX 6-12lb.
Any info or experiences with any of these rods would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a 302 one piece
I have a 302 one piece matched with a daiwa certate 2500r with 14 lb that I flick lures with for barra here in Hedland, mainly use softies with this rod, I also have the 502 with a certate 3500hd and 30 lb bloody nice rods, can't picture the size of a 4000 shimano in my head to let you know which one would suit but might have to get myself another one at that price

Whats the flex in the 302 like?
Ive got an Azusa 4-8kg spin stick at the moment on the Stella 4000 and its a pretty good setup. Looking to put that on another reel and upgrade the rod. Leaning towards the GLoomis for the Spin, SJR782 GLX and the Samurai SRB382 baitcaster. Im going to try to have a look at them this weekend and see how they match up.
Does anyone know anywhere in Perth that stock these 2 brands of rod?
