hey fellas
here in South Aus. i target alot of kingfish landbased mainly of jettys which is a hard challenge but very fun.
i have a Daiwa Saltiga 4500H Maverick spooled with 50lb braid.
now i dont really want to usin my jig stick off the jetty as it is bit to short
what would you think would be the way to goo in quality rods. budget is no issue.
wil be targeting kings from 3kg to 15kg
so somthing nice and strong but with abit of flick for lures and live baits
cheers for ur help

I've ordered a custom built Samurai NV9 to do a similar job to this. You may have seen my report and pics of the NV8 I recently got. Very Very happy with it. I'm putting a Shimano Twinpower 10000 FC on it with 50lb braid so a similar outfit.
The other rods mentioned will also do the trick nicely as well.
