deep, shallow and trolling outfits
G'day I'm looking at getting some new outfits and after searching around on google and previous posts I'm chasing some recommendations / ideas.
For my deeper outfits (100-200m, not that deep for some I know) I'm going all out as this is the main type of fishing I'll be doing and have decided on a samaki vanquish rod matched with a saltiga 6500 reel with 50 pound braid.
As for the shallow outfits (lighter outfits chasing pinkys etc in the sound and around rotto) I’ve been considering both diawa and shimano outfits around the $600 mark any recommendations would be great.
And last a couple of trolling outfits for mainly metro waters although I might do an annual trip up north I have been looking at either the Shimano Tyrnos 20 or Diawa Saltist LD 40-2 with a monster mesh, shimano t-curve or Ugly stick rods.
Any ideas and recommendations would be great.
Cheers

Trolling, wait for a TLD20
Trolling, wait for a TLD20 combo on special with 10 KG mono. Perfect and cheap.
Deep - wow, Saltiga 6500 is a VERY big hammer for metro. A Stella 8000 PG with larger spool (or equ saltiga) would be lighter and will land any metro fish, and perfect fo sambo jigging.
Shallow - depends whether for bait (6000 size shimano - rod not important) or jig (4000 o 5000 size shimano with pe2 or pe3 depending on how sporting you are and a nice parabolic pe1.5-3 jig rod).
