Hello again fella's
Spending a bit of time in 1770, QLD in october which will include spinning off the rocks for the 20-40kg tuna and mackies that swim past there every year. Me and my mate will be using a 6500 with matching popper rod and also a ligher outfit with a 4500.
My question is, what is a good qaulity rod to match the 4500 that is taller that 8ft and weighted higher that 10kgs that my mate and I can buy? Cant really find anything that takes my fancy as yet.
As always, look forward to your responces!
Cheers

definitely agree with the Rockstar and the Demon Blood. was using a demon blood last week at quobba matched to a 4500 saltiga and was an absolute dream to spin with. Rockstars are a little stiffer in the guts, meaning more power where it counts, but the demon blood has the full curve and is purely awesome.
Amazingly, it was as If i had more control over the fish, using the demon blood than what Dion, fishing with the rockstar, had.
