Just went down to SpotOn in Hobart and bought a new soft plastic rod. Ordered it in. SHould be here within a week. I am pretty stoked with this rod and reel combo. The other rod I was looking at was a Nitro Voodoo 6'6" 2 3 -5 kg or the Vapor 66 6'6" 2 1 - 2kg. SpotOn have a new range of Samurai rods available, which are the nicest rod Ive ever felt in my hands especially for a two piece. I matched that to a Fireblood reel and it was beautiful! But at the end of the day it came down to money and getting a rod and reel matched together.

Shimano Stradic 1000 (ratio 5.0:1 205grm 7+1bearings) with 2lb Fireline coupled onto a Shimano Raider 7'''2 Finesse Bream 2-4kg 3-12grm. Features a lightweight split-butt cork grip and Fuji VSS reel seat.

That's a brilliant combo mate, hope you get some great fish on it too.
