6-10kg baitcast rod

[tunaticer]

Recommend me a 6-10kg baitcast rod suitable for large plastics and 3-6" hard bodies.
I want graphite with a relatively short butt. Length can be from 6 to 7 feet, preferably with a fairly sensitive tip. Will be running 20lb braid over it.

I have every conceivably spin setup but still have this gaping hole in the baitcast range.

Max bucks is about 200.

Cheers.

If you can wait to find them on special then the T-Curve BC Barra Hvy 601. Is pretty good. It throws 10-25gms and is classed at 6-10kg. Its right on the 6' mark. I got mine for $150 but that was some time ago

Great rod but I would have thought at least around the $350 mark locally

It really depends where you get yours from. I got mine for $245 - which is closer to 200 than 350 - It has a shorter butt than the 664

A rod I was going to look at for f.a.d. work was a Tcurve Revolution Offshore 702 OH ,5-8kg ,15-50gr....just under 200 clams.

I have a 6-10kg Strudwick Harbaitz. It's 5'6" and matched to a Shimano Curado with 20lb braid. It's great for casting hardbodies and soft plastics, as long as you can work with using a heavier jighead than you would with spinning tackle, but can throw anything over 1/4 ounce reasonably well. Don't know how much they set you back though, mine was a gift.
