Budget would be $500 - $600

looking for something light that can be used for bottom bouncing in Exmouth.

Daiwa Saltist 40H for the reel would be my pick, for the rod shimano Tcurve , live fibre are good.

thanks for the info guys

whats sort of price am I looking at for a saltist?

$279 is approximate.

Tcurce 200 is a great bit of gear, I used one with a saltiga 30 in Exmouth im November and it pulled up a Cod that went over 40lb in 80m, it was hard work but the rod loved it. Needed some thumb assist technology to get it moving though

yeah i am thinking about a tcurve but I already have a tcurve 400 with a spin reel on it. Was thinking about getting something different. What do you guys think about the pflueger rods?

Fantastic little rod, nice and light with plenty of grunt. Got a saltiga z40 on mine with 65lb tuf line. Paid $200 for mine, you said you have a 400 already. These are knowhere near as stiff.

Simon would agree with the guys Saltist 40 loaded with 50lb on either a t curve 400 overhead or a jigwrex overhead would come in the budget you are looking at and would be a nice combo that will take punishment and will last
