Ugly Stik Bluewater
They are great rods for the price. Robust, great action and loaded with Fuji Alconite guides and HD reel seat.
Question is how are you using this rod???
When you mentioned mulloway and small sambos..... it is an 80lb rod. They can handle alot more than mulloway and small sambos. They are mainly designed as a jigging rod. Are you bottom fishing with it??

Mate IMO that is over kill
Mate IMO that is over kill as for the fishing you are talking about that is toooo heavy and could have a lot more fun with the same sucsess with a lighter rod

Too short...
The Bluewater Jig rod range are far too short for landbased use. I suggest check out the longer versions. 7ft and over, and perhaps go for a 24kg model. We got them in store so feel free to drop by and check them out.
