I got a Certate 2508 rh and Samurai 6 ft 8, nice combo for 8lb braid and soft plastics and small stickbaits. Maybe a tad light for up north but perfect for metro where it has accounted for tuna on stickbait and dhu and pinkies on plastics.

I'm using a shimano raider II inshore spin and a Stradic 5000FJ with 20lbs powerpro. Heavy enough for the big 'uns and still fun for the smaller fish. Would cost you about 400 dollars

I have got a Nitro Viper and Shimano Stradic FJ 5000 for casting small lures and SPs. Great combo that will cost you around your budget. Have only caught a few tuna and small YTK with it so far but felt like it could handle a lot more.

Daiwa Tournament Master S

Mon, 2012-01-30 15:33

Daiwa Tournament Master S Heavy and a Certate 3000 will be my combo in Broome this year. 30g cast weight and from what im told the rods handle solid Quobba Cobia.

last broome trip i had a Lemax black rose and Certate 3000 spooled with 20lb. 40g cast weight, it was harder using smaller plastics, however, I managed Tuna, Queenies, Trevally(goldens and brassys), jacks. It was a GT that couldnt be stopped by this

All the rod/reel combos mentioned above are awesome. Just head down to your local and have a play with rods up to the 20lb size.
