What rod for a Curado 300DSV?

Hi,

this reel is rated to 200m of 8kg mono, no idea for braid & 7kg drag? I picked one up when someone upgraded to a saltist.

I wanted to get something to use this, perhaps off the rocks to toss a a few lures and mulies, but not too long as I might use it on my brother's boat. Perhaps up to 7-8', light tip, but some butt stiffness.

Anyone got some suggestions? How hard is it to swap spools on these? Perhaps I could swap spools for some heavier stuff offshore?

Anyone got the Shimano Tiralejo 8'? Something else out there similar, but jointed in the foregrip? Any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Till
