The thing I like about those gen black rods is they are great bang for your buck I have the 2-6kg wild weasel. Have a look at the Tayro range of rods they range from $99-$400 and are very well built Tackleland Sandgate stock them. Also have a look at the Pflueger range of rods to they are great bang for your buck to. I also have a 10-15kg 3 piece Shimano Tcurve Revolution Traveller which I paid $200 for took it out the Barwon Banks and it went well. But as said for the money the gen blacks are great.
