Hi guys,
im looking for a light spin rod to match with a shimano stradic fi in the 2500 size.
it will be used for casting lures to bream, trout ,redfin,flatties and probably small tailor and salmon.
Does any one have any suggestions,

Cheers Sam,

because you said flatty's,tailor and samon id say something in the 2-4kg maybe even a 3-5kg. i have a 2-4kg 7' 2" shimano raider 1pce by ian miller rods about $100-120 in price. and have caught 6-7 kg tuna on my mates 3-5kg raider with a 2500 size reel aswell. i have a 2500shimano symetre on my 2-4kg and its a perfect match. if price isnt an issue maybe even start looking at the t-curve tournament series by shimano, there around the $230 mark. i have 1 in a baitcaster and it feels reel nice. they have many models around that weight/length also. but if you bath in $100bills then you can start looking at the g-loomis and other high end rods aswell!!. just a few ideas!!
cheers

I've got my 2500 Symetre FJ on a old model 2-4kg Starlo Stix for my light work, it's caught some nice Tuna and Queenies to 6kg. The newer models would be even better and if your on a budget they will only set you back $80 or so?
