    Up to you buddy but I rate the trion over most others in the class range. I'll eat my trion if you can get yourself on to a fish big enough that it wouldn't be able to handle. I have got many big fish from the bay on mine. Cobia and some cracking bay snapper. What type of fish are you thinking it won't be able to handle? Most of the rods snap because they are not treated correctly and stress fractures etc, look after the rod it will look after you.

    Hey Mossy,

    I was talking to a bloke today who reckons you've been known to suffer the odd stress fracture from time to time.

    Mate, a 3000 stradic is a very versatile reel. good drag, fast retrieve. match it to a raider, your laughing.

    TOL
    I wouldn't believe every fish tale off old netmaker TOL. I think they are more of a clean break than a stress fracture TOL
