Perfect combo for boat
Perfect combo for boat fishing, bit too short for land based. Mate has the exact same one, I have it with a certate 4000. Other rod to look at would be one of the new range of saltiga's - very nice indeed but a bit pricey.

combo
i have my 5000sw on a saltist demon blood combi jerk (cj64) and it is my favorite outfit, perfect for light jigs, "big" plastics and casts well too, well worth checking out at under $300

smith kgs 68m
I've had one of these for nearly a couple of years & it is my favourite rod
I now run a saltiga 2010 4000H with it & its perfect overall from casting little metals for tuna to using soft plastics & droping light jigs for demersables etc
Ive even seen my mates land small marlin at exmouth on thiers, twice!!
