Hi guys

I'm looking for an estuary trolling rod. Mainly used for flathead. Looking for:
5'6"" or similar Baitcaster
cork grips
4-6 kg so not too sloppy when trolling
up to $300
any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I would look at a Live Fibre Territory Barra 6kg in the 1 & 1/2 hand option.

Can it be placed in a rod holder? ;)

Yeah - it's not a Daiwa!

I was thinking that 6 kg might be a bit on the heavy side for flattie lures. What depth and size lures are you looking at using with it Murray?

But you are correct Dave,more likely 4kg is what I'm chasing!

I have a Shimano River Raider 3-6 kilo that I use for tingers in the Nerang and for flatty trolling. Lovely little rod.
