Hi Fellas,

Just wanting to upgrade some of my arsenal. I want to move up a category from the Raider series which i currently have. I am looking for rods for the following purposes. Max willing to spend on each rod is around $250.00 Any ideas what I should be getting and from where?

1. Bream and other esturary SP fishing - Reel is a 2500 stradic FH
2. Bream and other estuary SP fishing - Reel is a 1000 stradic FH
3. Barra/ Larger Flatties (Live Baiting)/ Jacks etc - Reel is a Millionaire SW203

I have a strudwick BWS 8-10kg baitcaster in excellent condition that I no longer use much.

Not officially for sale but was thinking about it.
Roughly worth $320 new, would sell for around $160 if you are interested.

I personally fish 20lb braid over it with a Calcutta 200 or chronach / curado so sounds like it would balance with your reel too.
I'm pedantic with care of my gear and this rod has proven itself on saltwater & impoundment barra, light jigging for Rat Kings, and big flatties on the GC. (see pics)

PM if you're interested mate.
Here's some pics top prove it .... and also to show off!
