Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have just purchased a Shimano baitrunner 4000D and some 20 lb braid.
Looking for an 'all purpose' 7 foot or so rod to match it to, one or two piece, around to 6-8kg mark. Am in Darwin currently but heading back to Adelaide. Will be chasing blue salmon, barra, queenfish off the shore with live bait, soft plastics and metal lures. want to take it back to SA for spinning and baitfishing off beach for Australian Salmon and some boat work.... I know it is a lot to ask.
Am looking at
Silstar crystal blue power tip CB 702GPL 7" 2 piece 4-7kg
Shimano jewel 76L Snapper spin 2 piece 7"6' 5-8kg
Shimano raider 73L Snapper light 2 piece 7"3' 4-7kg
Pflueger Asaro PFLA - SP722H 2 piece 7"2' 6-10kg
Pleuger one piece of about the same weight
I would like to keep it under $180
Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Live Fibre RLF17 6-8kg spin 7' or RLF15 10-15kg spin 6'6".

I have an RLF15 live fibre matched to a 4500 BTR. Great combo - even though it is a 10-15kg rod it has quite a light tip.
